Sun Local Patch server with Solaris 10?

Hi there,
I went to a lot of effort and setup a special "admin" server with
the Sun Control Station packages.

We are using DMM, Netconnect, CST and all that very effectively
to manage a lot of systems.

Also, I used the Local Patch Server product and spent quite a bit of
time getting that rolled out to various systems to assist in patch
management.

Now, I have a couple of Solaris 10 systems starting to appear on the
scene and it appears the "smpatch" subsystem won't work with a Solaris 9
Local Patch Server.

What do I have to do, to get my Solaris 10 systems working with this
product?

I have all my valid Sunsolve accts setup and we of course have
a Contract with Sun, so I have no problems registering an S10 system
with Sun, to get the patches individually, but I want to use LPS,
since, as the final point of my Jumpstart, the system is supposed to
run "smpatch add" to bring the latest patches onto the system.

The word is, that the new S10 patch management tools are incompatible
with the LPS.

Can someone please advise?

thanks...
