Hi Ron,
Thanks for your time,  the issue is I want to add user on numb of solaris box in one go through my shell script. Problem I am facing is, I am not able to assign password for user a/c through script (it is easy in liunx), remotly. Is there any way by which i can assigne password to user a/c using script.

>What you want to do is possible in many ways. Using a naming service such as NIS or ldap makes the most sense. BUT if you have to create the users on each machine, a script with root access could be the way to go . . . . and you should not be getting errors (I am primarily a Solaris guy)  Let's see your script . . .

ALOK . . . There is a Linux utility - command named 'expect' that will easily do what you need. I don't think it's bundled with Solaris but you can download it here, either in pre-compiled binary or source: http://www.sunfreeware.com/

The URL below shows the code to use the expect command in your script to get the password job done!
