OpenSolaris uses RBAC and root is set as an RBAC role. This means you cannot remote login as root and is more secure. The jack/jack default user allows you to login after the install and switch to root and the switch user to root is logged. You can then disable root as a role if you wish and add a custom login. It would be a good idea to remove the jack login after you create a custom one or change the jack password. Use the following to remove RBAC Role from the root login.
"rolemod -K type=normal root" The "jack" account also has RBAC attributes and can issue root commands if you prefix with "pfexec", similar to "sudo".
