If your solaris uses PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module), you
could always re-direct authentication off that Solaris box
to your NT Domain via something like pam_smb.
With something like this, you can choose specific services
(telnet, ftp, ssh) that you want to authenticate off the
NT domain, rather than off the local password file. For those
services you wish to do that for, there would be no need to
synchronize with the nt domain because you'd already be
authenticating against it.
In addition to separating service authentication requirements from
the local password file, PAM also allows you to redirect authenticate
to a stronger authentication service (there are pam modules for
kerberos, radius, etc)

here's a url for pam_smb (which supposedly works on solaris):
