Here is a guide that shows how to install on Solaris (9) and setting up NIS.  I don't use NIS so I didn't do the NIS part.

I would agree it is painful. Not to mention you probably don't want to
install it
on the master server lest it hoark your configuration files (I am
running on Solaris 10).

There's also no way to use NIS (or the support folks are not aware of
how to do it). So you
effectively need to create accounts for each user you want to have
access.

I am currently in the process of testing VXSS, and it is somewhat
painful.  I have it setup and working correctly with most default
settings.  In permissions of the user groups you cannot select just to
allow a group to restart and resume jobs from activity monitor.  You
have to select everything under "Operate" and cannot select individual
permissions under that.

I have tried to setup custom permissions sets, they appear to be correct
but I am unable to use them.  There are also about 5 different documents
about setting up VXSS on the Symantec support site, each varying
slightly.

I have it running on a solaris 9 master and have aix and windows media
all working with vxss, if I could figure out a way to define custom
permission sets this would be great product.

Or the real question, what are you trying to Achieve?  You may want to
use
NBU Reporter or NBU NOM and assign lower levels of permission that way.
