    Thanks for the answers to my question about installing openldap-server.
    As I would prefer to limit the number of repositories from which I'm
    taking packages, I'm considering switching to LTS so I can take packages
    from OmniTI.

    I'm sure I saw somewhere how to switch from one release to another but
    can't find the instructions now.  It seems to me that the process would be
    something like:

    clone the current BE to something like omnios-LTS.
    use pkg -R /rpool/omnios-LTS er_something to switch the release of
    omnios-LTS.
    use pkg -R /rpool/omnios-LTS update
    reboot into BE omnios-LTS

    but that won't fix the zones.  I wonder if a more simple answer is to have
    one zone just for openldap, on LTS, and the rest of the system on Stable,
    if that's possible.

    Obviously I could just reinstall but that's painful.

    Any other ideas?  Thanks, Michael.
