Solaris[1] has two different "cp"s[2].

 From cp(1):
	[...] [/usr/bin/cp] does not fail if unable to preserve extended
	attributes, modification and access time, or permission modes.

	[...] [/usr/xpg4/bin/cp] does not fail if unable to preserve
	extended attributes.  If unable to duplicate the modification
	and access time or the permission modes, cp prints a diagnostic
	message to stderr and return a non-zero exit status.


There is yet an other difference when -@ is specified.  The complete man
page can be found at docs.sun.com[2].

Best regards
Uwe

[1] in my case Solaris 10 = SunOS 5.10 and Solaris 9 = SunOS 5.9
