A short while ago there was mention made on this list of software for a
Mac server system that would block unwanted access (effectively ?) to
just the server that the software was installed on. Wasn't a firewall per
se, but sounded as though it would offer some protection. Lazy me, I
never got around to transcribing the information.
I also wondered if there have been any (documented) instances of Mac
servers being compromised and used to launch attacks against other
systems?
thanks y'all !
