Since this is pretty well-known and well-defined behavior (i.e. it says so in the docs), I think it should. At least for OpenSolaris, there is no reason for it to be looking in /etc/opt. Were you referring to the other platforms? Personally speaking, I've used the fact that you can have multiple locations and precedence between the config files to my advantage when deploying multiple databases. - Matt
