Important Mac OS X update *and* Apple's guide to securing OS X now available

[mechBgon]

For the Mac folks, a heads-up to grab the latest updates, which includes bug fixes and important security updates. more info

update: Apple has released a guide to securing Leopard. Note chapter 5 (use of non-Administrator accounts), chapter 6 (securing system preferences), and Appendix A (security checklist). Apple also suggests using antivirus protection (click "Find similar products" for others, including the free open-source ClamAV for Mac).

THANKS!

I get lazier and lazier with these updates over the years, probably because this machine has been running solid since I bought it almost 6 years ago. Good to me on a Mac

I'm worrying about everyone, bro...

(shorter bars mean faster delivery of security patches)

(self-explanatory, I hope. "RH" means RedHat, by the way)

Enjoy your Mac. But keep 'er patched, and keep your guard up. :tinfoil:
