Hmm, in hindsight, I should have kept better notes
about what I changed and why I changed it. ;-)

>From "rpm -V `rpm -qa|grep -i sun`", it looks like the
only things of significance I changed were:
"/opt/init.d/utsyscfg" and "/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm"
(besides the patch I already sent to the list).

/opt/init.d/utsyscfg:
1. changed
   "utadem.o" to "utadem.ko" and "utio.o" to "utio.ko"
   as 2.6 uses the "ko" extension for modules

2. changed
   INSTALLDIR=/lib/modules/${VERSION}/misc
   to
   INSTALLDIR=/lib/modules/${VERSION}/extra
   as that's where the 2.6 kernel module build scripts
put the Ray modules.

/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm
Interestingly, it turns out the problems with this
file weren't with SRSS code--it looks like "getent"
doesn't work, or doesn't work how this install script
expects it to work. "getent hosts ip.addr" doesn't
return a record when it only exists in "/etc/hosts".
My nsswitch.conf and hosts.conf files clearly state
"files"/"hosts" should be used before "dns"/"bind",
but the "getent" command doesn't honor that setting
when looking up by IP address (it did seem to honor it
when looking up by hostname though). Rather than
fixing it correctly, I just changed the line to match
my setup. (I changed the "INTF_NAME=..." line to
"INTF_NAME='myactualhostname-eth1'".)

You will also need to make sure you have some sort of
library for the various rpm dependencies that will
fail: this may include making symlinks or installing
rpms from other systems. My memory of these changes
isn't clear.

As for dhcpd.conf, the SRSS worked fine
autoconfiguring my stock Fedora install.

I also uninstalled the stock gdm before installing
Sun's SRSS gdm. Furthermore, I have never attempted to
use the web configuration interface.

I'll try to throw all this up on a website w/patches
sometime soon.
