On a review of the Mac OS X, Larry Loeb adresses the question |
|
on how the change from Mac OS to Mac OS X will affect security |
|
by saying:<br> <em>"[...] the Unix layer is based on OpenBSD, |
|
one of the most secure Unix distributions out there."</em> |

Road to Mac OS X: Security and OS X</a>, |

MacCentral Online, June 23, 2000 |

</strong></font><br> |
|
On one of a series of articles from MacCentral Online |
|
columnist Dennis Sellers, he attempts to answer Mac OS users' |
|
questions on the move forward to Mac OS X. With concern to |
|
security, he quotes Mark Block saying:<br> |
|
<em>"Keep in mind that just because it's UNIX-based |
|
doesn't mean it's susceptible to crackers. OpenBSD is an |
|
example of an extremely secure flavor of UNIX."</em> |
