There are 3 types of timestamps associated with a file:
atime: When the file was last accessed
ctime: When the file's status was last changed (chmod,...)
mtime: When the file's data was last modified
So, as a side note, Solaris is IMHO right to complain when you try
to change a file you don't have the rights to access:
sol2.7> chmod u=u /; echo $?
chmod: WARNING: can't change /
