Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10 allow ssh login with empty passwd Post 302377392 by jlliagre on Friday 4th of December 2009 01:11:56 AM

IMHO, the most serious issue is having passwordless accounts in the first place. If you can't avoid that (I'm missing why you shouldn't), you might try disabling Solaris 10 ssh and install openssh instead. Another option would be to install OpenSolaris where the issue is definitely fixed.
