A look at security in Leopard

That sound you just heard was an NDA being broken. That's right one of Sebastiaan's dev friends let him take a peek at his Leopard dev box. Being the good Mac person Sebastiaan is, he decided to look at some security enhancements in both the server and client version of Leopard. If you want all the gory details check out his post, but briefly Leopard offers much more granular control of what sort of network traffic you allow to and from your Mac. Sebastiaan also mentions the end of Input Managers, though he thinks it is a good thing (and it is, from strictly an OS security standpoint).
