This sounds like a job for a bunch of bash scripts.  First you batch create
the accounts and admin files (passwd, etc.) on the RH side and then you cp
(don't forget the -Rp) the files over.  Remember that if you have any
system-wide features to user accounts (e.g., path), you will have to alter
the appropriate files.  Also, if people have symlinks inside their accounts
to places outside their accounts, these links may fail since the
organization of the non-user accounts on Solaris is somewhat different than
in Linux.

Best,

Glenn

(and no, I'm not going to write your scripts for you!)
