Apple releases Mac OS X security guide

Apple released its Security Configuration Guide for Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" on Monday, a 240-page document that describes ways for sophisticated Mac users to further secure their systems.

The manual includes an overview of the Mac OS X's security architecture and advice on hardening the operating system against external attackers as well as locking down the system to protect against unauthorized access by people with physical access to the system. The instructions make extensive use of the command line, and Apple warns readers that only technically-adept users should use the guide.
