You're very welcome.
I can understand your frustration a little. Being a long-time Solaris
person, I find Linux to be a little confusing--particularly where it
puts things. OpenSolaris does have some advantages you may be interested
in, though. It's never had the kernel-of-the-week problem Linux had, and
ZFS is _way_ easier than VxVM; I don't think Linux has anything native
to even remotely compete.
All that said, OpenSolaris is changing a bit, and the shift from the
Nevada builds to the Indiana tree will be big. This may be another good
reason for you to take your time migrating. But when you do make the
change, I think you'll be happy.
I'm glad I could help.

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.
Regards,
Abid

Hi Team
I m new to openSolaris and installed it using a live CD 2008.05.
i found it to be quite similar to RedHat Linux but still many things are different.
though i m loving it.
i gave a command (passwd -d) on the bash shell with the root's role, as i dont
like to be prompted for passwd again and again.
now, i m not able to login to openSolaris, as its saying, password or userId is
not correct.
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.
