Probably... but I wouldn't expect it of anyone who doth protest as the OP DBA's.

Then there's the, ahem, "remote" possibility of really strange things like poorly coded scripts [even csh's!] and command name or parameter collisions [rsh or remsh? D'Oh!] buried deep within some scripts. I've seen stuff so flaky even _I'm_ afraid of it! :-)

But seriously, the DBA's and the admin need to communicate and evaluate the actual situation. Most likely there's no reason not to do it right. But some stuff is just so awful it won't work the same on two machines apparently configured the same.
