I don't think so. I have several Solaris 2.7 machines, both Sparc and
Ultra, and they are working fine.

I assume the "ls -l" and sendsize*debug came from the same client host?
Is there any NFS going on, like is runtar being served from some other
machine? If so, you'll need to change the client mount command (or
automount, etc) and possibly the server (e.g. dfstab) to allow setuid
across the NFS mount. See "man mount_nfs" and "man dfstab_nfs".
Here's a small patch to log what effective UID runtar thinks it is,
which might shed some more light on things.
