    What are you talking about? Even OpenBSD has security-related documents and manuals. While OpenBSD is super safe for the out-of-the-box install, any time you open a port or enable a daemon, you are exposing yourself to some kind of vulnerability if you don't know exactly what you're doing.

    Mac OS X is the same way. If you're enabling advanced services and whatnot, as per the experts this manual is aimed at, you need to know what you're doing. This manual addresses that.
