I haven't done it myself, but I pinged some folks who have pretty deep
RHEL experience, and they say it should be pretty straightforward as long
as you use ext3 or some other filesystem on the Linux side that supports
ACLs properly. As Sean said, tar seems to be an accepted way of
transferring the files and preserving the ACL data. I'd say you're in
reasonably safe waters.

Extended posix acls are stored in the inode table (on ext3 at least).
I don't know much about solaris, but I'd assume it works the same way on UFS.
There should be no external database to be concerned about.
Considering that, assuming tar on both ends understands how to read
and preserve the acls, then something like this is probably your best
bet:
solaris9:$ tar cf - /somedir | ssh u...@redhat5 tar xf - -C /dest

Subject: RE: moving ACLs from Solaris 9 to RHEL5?
Does anyone have a quick take on how hard it would be to move a file
system with a large # of file ACLs from a Solaris 9 server to a RedHat
Enterprise Linux 5 server? ?It looks like ACLs work the same, but does
anyone know how many annoying glitches there are?
When you say ACL's work the same, are you talking about selinux? ?I didn't
know there was such a thing as ACL's in rhel5 or solaris 9. ?Would you care
to give me the name of some command I should man, or some page I should
google?
