EUID set for all non-root users
We have a Solaris box. I noticed that whenever any non-root user logins into the box and issues the command id the output is (for example) uid=42568(sam) gid=1245(sam) euid=0(root) egid=2(bin). I have not given any privileges to anyone explicitly. When I issued ls -l in the /usr/bin directory I found that the permission was like this -rwsrwsrwt for all the files. This is a security breach. Please help in getting rid of this issue.

maybe you should do a new and clean install from scratch. it's nearly impossible to have the right settings for ALL files restored... only if you have a snapshot of the filesystem before the breach.
