ls -l shows the time, if it is recent enough:

$ uname -a
SunOS rees.math 5.8 Generic_108528-27 sun4u sparc

$ touch blah
$ ls -l blah
-rw-rw----   1 rjordan  none            0 Jun  8 12:02 blah

If the files are older than a year, then Solaris will try to
be helpful and plug in the year instead.

You can force it with ls -lc (ctime) ls -lu (mtime)
