Anywhere where using the same tool and mechanism for multiple UNIX flavors makes sense. Let's be realistic: investing time in automating and engineering an RBAC solution does me no good if I also have AIX and HP-UX to worry about. The IT industry doesn't only consist of Solaris, there are still other UNIXes deployed and pah-lenty of them. While I fully understand that, from where Sun engineers sit, it might be difficult to visualize an environment that is not all Solaris based, a good judgment call is needed, and I would think that the best engineers in the industry would be capable of making one. Or have I grossly overestimated you (plural)? Imagine what the industry would look like, the administration nightmare that would have ensued, if every UNIX vendor had implemented their own NFS equivalent? And that is just a trivial example...
