after using the instructions in this chapter.
In version 10.4, watchdog has been replaced by launchd. To re-enable automatic
hardware restart, use the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences. To migrate settings
for services you added to /etc/watchdog.conf, create a launchd plist file and install it
into /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/. See the man page for launchd.conf for details.
Tools You Can Use
Several tools are available:
 You use Workgroup Manager to export version 10.3 user and group accounts to a
character-delimited file, and then import them into a version 10.4 server. You can also
import users and groups using the command-line
dsimport
tool.
 Workgroup Manager’s import facility and the
dsimport
tool also let you import other
kinds of data, such as computers and computer lists.
 You use the
49_webconfigmigrator
tool to migrate your web configuration.
 You use the
50_ipfwconfigmigrator
tool to migrate your IP firewall configuration.
 You use the
nidump
and
niload
tools and the NetInfo Manager application to migrate
your DHCP configuration.
