hi,

is there a way in solaris 10 u8 to retrieve a
default (original) config file as shipped with
the installation?

for example /etc/hosts without any user-specific
(post-installation) changes and with original
perms and timestamp?

Take a snapshot of your root pool before making any changes. Otherwise
no, /etc/hosts is built during the system identification install phase.

Locate the file under /rpool/.zfs/snapshots and copy it back.

How about using sys-unconfig(1M):

"The sys-unconfig command is used to restore a system's configuration
to an "as-manufactured" state, ready to be reconfigured again."

Although I'm not sure you'll get your install timestamps, for perms
you can use pkgchk's '-f' IIRC
