I don't think it's anything to be concerned about. The bulk are in the
automatically generated configure script and for the most part it's just
one more place to look.
$ grep -rc /usr/ucb * | grep -v :0
configure:12
configure.ac:3
regress/test-exec.sh:2
Of the remaining ones, 2 in configure.ac are not even for Solaris and the
other one is only a path addition
if test -z "$MANTYPE"; then
TestPath="/usr/bin${PATH_SEPARATOR}/usr/ucb"
AC_PATH_PROGS([NROFF], [nroff awf], [/bin/false], [$TestPath])
if ${NROFF} -mdoc ${srcdir}/ssh.1 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
test-exec also looks innocuous:
if [ -x /usr/ucb/whoami ]; then
USER=`/usr/ucb/whoami`
elif whoami >/dev/null 2>&1; then
USER=`whoami`

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
