A couple of Leopard upgrade questions...

For reasons that are not entirely clear to me I choose to
do an upgrade to Leopard Client instead of an archive and
install.
I commented here earlier about some of the problems that
ensued...
I eventually was able to get everything running but have
a couple of questions.
1) postfix and www are know as _postfix and _www
for www I have:
[mbp:~]$ dscl . read /Users/www
AppleMetaNodeLocation: /Local/Default
GeneratedUID: 020BB994-C502-4D19-84E8-BFF3E636D8D3
NFSHomeDirectory: /Library/WebServer

PrimaryGroupID: 70
RealName:

RecordName: _www www
RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Users
UniqueID: 70
UserShell: /usr/bin/false
Question: Is the introduction of the underscore something new,
or is this something provoked by the *upgrade*
I had the same problem with postfix and I had to edit the
postfix config file to use _postfix instead of postfix
I also found out the tcl/tk was not upgraded. It still sits
at version 8.4.7 ( I have installed Active States 8.4.16
Tcl/Tk. The active state version is supposed to coexist with
the apple version)
Question: How can I install the updated Apple version ( it is
version 8.4.16 also);
There is probably not a super rush on this question as 8.4.16
crashes whenever the Tk save file dialog in invoked ;( when
in Leopard.
