iostat -n in Solaris 2.8

'iostat -n' can be run successfully by any user in 2.6 but this fails
in 2.8 with the message:
"iostat: stat of /dev/osa/dev/dsk failed
: Permission denied"

I am guessing that iostat -n must use the path /dev/osa/dev/dsk to
translate devices names from sd* to c*t*d*.

The permissions of /dev/osa differ between Solaris 2.6 and 2.8 in our
environment. /dev/osa, /dev/osa/dev and /dev/osa/dev/dsk lack o+x in
2.8.

Is this normal?

Will adding execute other to /dev/osa, /dev/osa/dev and
/dev/osa/dev/dsk in Solaris 2.8 cause problems?
