The inodes contain dates of creation, modification and access. The dates given by the ls command just happen to be that of last modification. There are ways and means of using commands other than standard shell to get the other dates.SimonJMa at 2007-7-12 8:43:11 >

UFS (and indeed most any UNIX filesystem), does not store any date as a 'creation' date.
Three timestamps are stored with an inode, last modification date, last access date, and last inode change date.
So Solaris does not consider creation and modification one and the same thing. It simply does not track a creation date for files.
