By default, the user created during OpenSolaris install is assigned the
Primary Administrator profile. The Primary Administrator profile runs
all commands as root via this entry in /etc/security/exec_attr:
Primary Administrator:suser:cmd:::*:uid=0;gid=0
... which means that anything you pfexec will run as root. (I also think
this means the dladm entries in /etc/security/exec_attr aren't used in
this case.)

As above, you're basically running as root, so sure.
