The important parts of both files should be the same, assuming you
used the same crypt mechanism on each (i.e., no MD5 hashes in
/etc/shadow)
Solaris 7 /etc/passwd:
username:x:uid:gid:name:homedir:shell
Solaris 7 /etc/shadow:
username:passwordhash:number::::::
GNU/Linux (woody) /etc/passwd:
username:x:uid:gid:name:homedir:shell
GNU/Linux (woody) /etc/shadow:
username:passwordhash:number:number:number:number:::
The meaning of each number in the shadow file is documented in each
system's manpage for shadow.

Put the hashes from the Solaris shadow into the Debian shadow, and
they'll have the same password.
