You better believe Linux can read UFS filesystems which is the default Solaris FS. :)

I doubt the person was trolling anything. And as proven from the above corrections about the ability of Linux to read the Solaris UFS filesystem..you might take your own advice.

Almost every Sun box comes with a cdrom/dvd-drive nowadays, so you'll be able to boot from the Solaris setup cd, mount the necessary slice and remove the passwd for root. Reboot and you're in. 5 minutes, tops. No need to remove the hard drive and mount it in a Linux box, but i guess you already knew that Ben ;-) cheers, Marcel
