Apple Fixes 'Misleading' Leopard Firewall Settings
4 for 52 writes "ZDNet is reporting that Apple has fessed up to at least three serious design weaknesses in the new application-based firewall that ships with Mac OS X Leopard. The acknowledgment comes less than a month after independent researchers threw cold water on Apple's claim that Leopard's firewall can block all incoming connections. The firewall patches come 24 hours after a Mac OS X update that provided cover for at least 41 security vulnerabilities."
Why is that a Troll? I am generally curious if Apple claimed that their firewall can block all incoming connections. I would think since Ellison's famous comment regarding oracle as bine 'hacker proof' large companies would shy a way from absolutes like that.
Of course, I have read the posts and understand it is a poor description in the gui.
I am still at a loss as to being marked troll. Sometime I may nopt come across the way I intended online, but I can't figure out how that can be interpret as a troll.

Not that somebody selling crude sketchings of boats is a hard target.

Not sure what you're implying. Yes, the dwgs are crude, but not sketches. No, I'm not trying to be a hard target. Hmmm, do I appear to be a target? If anything, my existence will just make the various governments display themselves to be connected to self-preservation of redundant artillery and other warship pieces.
I haven't totally escaped FROM reality. But there are a LOT of mad people in corporation, government, and military clothing. I'm probably just giving them reasons to seek out more enemas and enemies.
