I too have decided to take the plunge this week: Goal – 10.3.9 to 10.4 with no hiccups
Here is what I have done so far
1) Cloned the server using Carbon Copy Cloner to an external Firewire Drive
2) Booted an old iBook through this FireWire Drive
3) Updated the OSX 10.3.9 on the FireWire Drive to 10.4
4) Checked if everything worked
5) Step 4 was not successful.
6) mysql path has changed and took me some time to reset the path in my php config.. finally got mysql and php working
7) ldap is screwed up. All the user info is present. However passwords are messed up. I cannot login as any other user. I cannot login as an admin to the LDAP database also. I cannot create new users as I cannot login as an admin.
8) Will keep working with the firewire and figure out all possible gotchas before I go ahead with the upgrade on the main server.

9) Any help on 7 would be appreciated…..

I am not sure what kind of programs that you mean? I have the default config: postfix is the mta and cyrus is the imap server. Would clients requesting imap or pop data also start these services automatically?

Some more details:

I think I have narrowed down the problem. Still need a solution though !

When I do a “serveradmin mail stop”, it does not stop postfix.
When I do a “postfix stop”, even then, it starts again automatically !!.
I am sure that postfix is corrupting the cyrus databases when they are being backed up. Any ideas?
