Hi,

 >>We now support setting the security keys (at least from OBP; Solaris 
changes are needed to support doing so from Solaris).

ok

Another question:

 From reading the manuals it seems possible to install ldm 1.1 on older 
Solaris Releases if the necessary patches are installed. But it' s not 
clear for me if I then can use all new features and have all bug fixes.

Can we install the Solaris patches on our existing Solaris installations 
(using mostly Solaris 10 8/07) and install ldm 1.1 to get all new 
features or must we upgrade the installations to Solaris 10 10/8?

regards

Bernd
