Hi all, thks for the input.
Finally, I managed to solved the problem.
Below are the steps that I would like to share with you in the problem solving.
1) create the same username, passwd, home directory on both Linux and Sun. export the home directory out (edit /etc/dfs/dfstab, /etc/init.d/nfs.server start, dfshares)
2) if home directory residue on Sun then when creating account on Linux, do not select the the create home directory locally.
(edit /etc/fstab to mount the exported home directory)
** if using cisco switch, some timing issue on the communication, in our case, we need to edit the /etc/init.d/netfs file to extend the communication timing.
we added the following sentences to the netfs file.
sleep 60
mount /software
sleep 60
mount /homedirectory
3) after the user login information is created on the linux, do not log out of root, su to the account and copy all the files inside /etc/skel (consists of 5 hidden files and 2 hidden directory) to the user home directory.
4) NOTE : linux userid, group cannot be smaller than 500 (1-499 is reserved for the system).

pam_mkhomedir
PAM_MKHOMEDIR(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_MKHOMEDIR(8)
NAME
pam_mkhomedir - PAM module to create users home directory
SYNOPSIS
pam_mkhomedir.so [silent] [umask=mode] [skel=skeldir]
DESCRIPTION
The pam_mkhomedir PAM module will create a users home directory if it does not exist when the session begins. This allows users to be
present in central database (such as NIS, kerberos or LDAP) without using a distributed file system or pre-creating a large number of
directories. The skeleton directory (usually /etc/skel/) is used to copy default files and also sets a umask for the creation.
The new users home directory will not be removed after logout of the user.
OPTIONS
silent
Don't print informative messages.
umask=mask
The user file-creation mask is set to mask. The default value of mask is 0022.
skel=/path/to/skel/directory
Indicate an alternative skel directory to override the default /etc/skel.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session module type is provided.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_BUF_ERR
Memory buffer error.
PAM_CRED_INSUFFICIENT
Insufficient credentials to access authentication data.
PAM_PERM_DENIED
Not enough permissions to create the new directory or read the skel directory.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User not known to the underlying authentication module.
PAM_SUCCESS
Environment variables were set.
FILES
/etc/skel
Default skel directory
EXAMPLES
A sample /etc/pam.d/login file:
auth requisite pam_securetty.so
auth sufficient pam_ldap.so
auth required pam_unix.so
auth required pam_nologin.so
account sufficient pam_ldap.so
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022
session required pam_unix.so
session optional pam_lastlog.so
session optional pam_mail.so standard
