Thanks Rainer, I did not find OpenSolaris very user friendly as compared to Redhat Linux. Specially, the devices concept, the root(role) concept and zpool and such other things.
I was planning to migrate from Redhat to OpenSolaris however, I ve postponed my plan for now. Currenly my desktop is triple Bootable with OpenSolaris,RedHat Linux and Windows XP. Ne ways, thanks for your reply. My issue is solved now.

I believe this may be the section of the passwd manpage you're not noticing: If the login(1) option PASSREQ=YES is configured, the account is not able to login. PASSREQ=YES is the delivered default. Note that this default seems to have changed recently. I always built my home system without a password initially, then created one when running my post-DVD build scripts. This was just for ease on my slow system. On my latest rebuild, this failed.
