Apple Computer has recently released two guides for
securing
Macintoshes running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger from attack:
"Mac OS X Security Configuration Guide"
and
"Mac OS X Server Security Configuration
Guide"
http://www
.apple.com/server/documentation/
(under the "Mac OS X Security Guides" subhead
on that page)
FYI,

P.S. Some other Macintosh security guides worth noting:
Stephen de Vries' white papers for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and
10.3
Panther at Corsaire's website include some security
configuration
techniques not discussed in Apple's guides, particularly
those
related to OS X's Unix underpinnings:
Stephen de Vries
"Securing Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger"
and
"Securing Mac OS X 10.3 Panther"
http://www.cors
aire.com/white-papers/
The Systems and Network Attack Center of the National
Security
Agency (yes, *that* NSA) offers a guide paralleling much of
the
material in Apple's guide, as well as covering some
Unix-related
configuration techniques, for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther:
"Apple Mac OS X v10.3.x "Panther"
Security Configuration Guide"
http://www
.nsa.gov/snac/downloads_macX.cfm
There is also a local Mac OS X security guide, from our
neighbors
up the hill at LBL:
Gene Schultz, et al.
"Mac OS X Security Checklists"
http://www.lbl.gov/ITSD/Security/systems/mac_guideli
nes.html
These LBL guides were written for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar,
although
they have some applicability to later versions of Mac OS X.
