I guess you're using Solaris 10, with kernel SunOs 5.10.
I don't know Solaris, but I've read you can download sudo or sudo-ldap packages from here:
Freeware for Solaris.

Then you'll edit your sudoers file (probably /etc/sudoers or /usr/local/etc/sudoers ) so that user ramesh can run chmod as haihow. man sudoers will help you.
Then you'll use something like sudo -u haihow chmod ... in your script.
