That only happens if you specified the -F flag to ls.  I think you are
confusing what the /bin/ls command does versus what the system calls that
it calls do.  The Solaris kernel certainly does not add a * to the end of
a file name.

Check your shell aliases, if someone is calling /bin/ls to do any listing
then it is quite possible it is picking up your shell aliases.
