Thanks Alan, I just tried to see whether it works any named attributes 
for a file set in one operating system can be read in other operating 
system with following combinations
 >Accessing Solaris ufs directory in Linux using sshfs
 >accessing Solaris and Linux directories in Windows using Samba
 >accessing Windows network share drive in linux using smbfs
In all the above combinations I was not able to read named attributes 
may be limitation of specific file system.

Alan, I have one more query. I am not able to get AclFileAttributeView 
in Linux. My linux machine Ubuntu 8.04 supports Acls. Can you please 
tell me how can we access Acl's in Linux.

Thanks
Rajendra.
