Re: Firewall on Mac OS X

[[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Norman Franke)]

Mac OS X comes with a firewall. Go to System Preferences, the Sharing 
panel, click on Firewall. You can also use Brickhouse to let you 
customize it a little more (http://www.securemac.com/brickhouse.php) 
I believe the built-in one is based on ipfw.
