Does Sun have an 'official' position on ripping out their version and running your own? Does anyone have any experience dealing with Sun where it became known that you were running a different version than theirs (i.e., Sun tried to blame that for some other problem)?
Our university IT management are somewhat uncomfortable with running something this critical not provided through the OS vendor (esp. given that the vendor ships a version of it), and would feel a lot better if they knew Sun didn't really care one way or the other. (Yes, they are very over-sensitive about open source software, but I still have to answer their concerns even when I think they may be misplaced). The feeling seems to be that since it is actually installed by Sun as packages named SUNWwhatever is more of a 'stamp of approval' than, for example, the stuff in /usr/sfw. Apologies if this is veering off-topic for the list... Thanks, Toby Jeff A.
