(I didn't even have to muck around with PAM in order to get the scheme
below working)
Edit ~root/.rhosts and add a line like this:
yourSolaris2.6Hostname yourAccountOnThatSolarisBox
and then make sure that this .rhosts file has the appropiate
permissions (chmod 600 ~root/.rhosts).
I would highly recommend doing this with ssh though. IP addresses can
be spoofed....
