No, should be not.
The hash on Linux is md5 hash. On Solaris it is DES hash (output from
crypt() function).
Try it by creating a test user on Linux and substituing the line in
/etc/shadow with corresponding line from Solaris (e.g. the above line).
I just tried it and it works as it should.
So - no problem.
Good luck.
