Ed. Note: Perhaps a word of warning? Discuss. Firefox 3 appears to have issues with user accounts not located on the main drive. At the very least it cannot deal with a network user account being located on a remote OS X Server.When I updated to Firefox 3, I immediately noticed that Bookmarks were not visible under bookmarks menu.
As part of some self-documentation, I posted on my personal blog exactly what works and where I found the help for getting an OpenDirectory 10.5 Server running from a 10.4 in production box. The twist is that I needed to keep my SID and other PDC functionality that I've inherited up from 10.3.9.
Leopard server brings us a new interface for managing amavis in Server Admin. But, using some of the options of Server Admin's GUI doesn't modify correctly /etc/amavisd.conf and brings some weird issues

This is a bit of perhaps tooting my own horn, but since the content is so apropos, I hope that won't be too big of a deal.
We're testing the following process to see if we can force a user's local computer will copy back to their home folder remotely. Been working with an Apple rep on this and we were successful in doing this on a test account.
One of the biggest complaints I heard from other consultants and support folks about Mac OS X Server 10.4 was about how bad it was to work with the DNS GUI. They pined away for Panther or relegated themselves to hand coding their zone files.
