Hi Manoj,
The installation process should have already changed
/dev/vboxdrv to owner root and group vboxusers,
and changed it's permissions to 660.
At any rate, as root, run the command:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
After that check again :
# ls -l /dev/vboxdrv
crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 10, 62 2008-03-07 12:29 /dev/vboxdrv
and
# grep vboxusers /etc/group /etc/gshadow
/etc/group:vboxusers:x:1009:YOUO-LOGIN-NAME
/etc/gshadow:vboxusers:!::YOUR-LOGIN-NAME
If you do not see YOUR-LOGIN-NAME listed with the vboxusers
group name, then issue the command
lgroupmod -M YOUR-LOGIN-NAME vboxusers
I dont know if solaris uses the same command name.
Good luck.
