Altiris adlagent and NS agent and Snow Leopard

I've scoured the InterWebs and no one seems to be talking about this. Does anyone have either the DS agent or the NS agent working with the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard? I've tried installing the agent on a fresh OS X 10.6 install with no joy. I've also taken a Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) machine with working Altiris adlagent and NS agent and just upgraded the OS to 10.6 with the same failed result, no connection to the DS server.  If anyone has a work around or hack to get the agents running under Snow Leopard, please post. BTW. I'm running NS7 and DS 6.9 SP3 (DS adlagent: altiris-adlagent-2.67-74).

The kb documentation has some

The kb documentation has some information about this.  

Does anyone know if the new adlagent will be backward compatible with older versions of the DS?

thx. found the kb article

Thanks. So, I guess we'll be waiting for the next NS 7.x update. Also, there was no mention about support for the timeline on the DS Agent. Arghhh. Anyone else landing on this page might want to check out Article # 48745 in the KB.
