Thanks for the quick response; I'll pass it along to people on the
MacEnterprise list.
Without trying to ask too much about futures, is it possible v1.3.4 might be
included in a future software update of Leopard? Or is it likely Leopard
will be locked at v1.3.3?
Is it possible -- or even advisable -- for systems administrators to install
v1.3.4 on top of Leopard (without ill effects to what's bundled with the OS)
if they need that fix?
Thanks!
