Thanks to Chris, Ric & Murat & pardon my disorganized summary:

Their replies added to my original email to make
it a more thorough list :


/etc/default/*

ssh config & keys in /etc/ssh

ftp access rules in /etc/ftpd

/etc/ftpusers (as we used ftp besides scp in our environment)

/etc/inetd

/home/...  or /export/home/...   (ie users' home directories)

/var/spool/cron/crontabs

      For 5120/5220/5240 CMT servers you'll absolutely need new
 /etc/system tuned for CMT servers.

Extras :

* If you collect sar statistics & if you may need them on new server :
/var/adm/sa/sa*
* User home directories to be copied may reside on /export.
* In /opt there may be some optional packages.
* If you use mysql you may want to copy /etc/my.cnf file.
...
