For Solaris you're probably better off using John the Ripper.  L0phtCrack is
for Windows systems only and probably the only other decent cracker out there,
made by ElcomSoft, is also a Windows product.  John the Ripper has a very good
algorithm and there are places out on the 'Net you can get the john.pot files
easily (or you can ask me...I've still got mine which is about 5MB big -- 
along with a VERY large dictionary file).
