For Solaris 2.4 use dis, adb, or gdb
For Sun OS 4.1.x you can use gdb, adb or the disassembler available in
ftp://ftp.wimsey.com/pub/crypto/sun-stuff
OR
ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/he/henderso

The above two ftp sites I mention above also have unstrip programs 
for Sun OS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.4/SPARC which will enable you to 
"recover" a lot of the symbolic information in a stripped dynamically 
linked binary. This makes figuring out the code a lot easier.
