Generally speaking, yes, SMIT is just an interface to the usual
collection of commands used to alter a device.  However, in this
specific instance SMIT does not use "penable" or "pdisable" to
do its work, instead it calls "chdev -l tty0 -a login=<>" or
something to that effect.  If you are really interested, call up
SMIT and make the changes you desire, then press the <F6> key
instead of <RETURN>.  That will tell you exactly what commands
SMIT is going to execute.

There are some fixes in 3003 that will fix problems with shared
ports (-u and -r and -??? flags).  Your problem sounds like
something completely different that is also fixed in 3003 that
related to p{delay,share,enable,disable}.
