Mac OS X 10.2.3 for Jaguar?

[MrResistor]

I thought OS X 10.2 was jaguar, which would make the "for jaguar" redundant (never mind that X and 10 thing).

I don't mean this a flamebait, I'm actually curious if Jaguar is something distinct from anything else 10.2

Actually, the OS's firewall is *OFF* by default, for what it's worth.

However, most all web services (SSH, FTP, etc.) are also off by default (including CUPS).

The problem lies in the fact that most home users, when they click the box that says "Share This Printer" they don't realize that they're SHARING the printer -- the hooks are in place for remote printing, even though it requires an admin password -- and even fewer of 'em realize that it opens an HTTP port for configuration options (837? I forget, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now).

Nobody on the Net has any business opening connections to any port on your machine, but you'll get sniffed nonetheless.

5 minutes and a reboot. Get in the habit.
