By default NOTHING is open, it has an effective firewall (moreso in
10.4, where you can pretty much make your mac invisible on the net.
(in Sharing > Firewall > Advanced check Block UDP traffic and Stealth
Mode. This may cause some problems in corporate environments so ask
your friendly (or rude and arrogant as the case may be) IT person
about this).
Bruce,
Isn't is pointless to turn on Firewall protection if using an Airport
network? I mean, my ABS (snow) has a built-in hardware firewall. Or
is it better to also have OS X's firewall turned on as well? (Panther
here).
