Okay on the subject of violating the code of security regarding external utilities their shop their rules. It is way better to fight that up front than to get found out bringing something in. Most shops I've worked on are fairly easy about utility stuff however there are always the hard cases and it's just not worth it.
One point about my post was - it's better to just count on the stuff that you know is there rather than a non-existent guarantee that it's going to be something that you can load onto it. It's like learning vi for an AIX system because you can't count on anything else.
