Security
The Mac OS offers reliable security. Mac OS X has local user account security built in as part of the OS. Network security has also been taken into account. Many services that would be susceptible to a hack are turned off by default, so a Mac is more secure than other OSes right out of the box. Additionally, there are many third-party security products (including some that
implement Kerberos security, which is the type used by Windows 2000) that can make the Mac OS extremely secure over the network.

AppleShare IP: History

No discussion of Mac OS X Server would be complete without at least a brief discussion of
AppleShare IP. AppleShare IP is basically the file and printer services of AppleShare (which traditionally ran over AppleTalk) configured to run over TCP/IP for cross-platform file sharing. It was released with AppleTalk version 5 and was developed as a response to the networking and computer industries’ move toward TCP/IP as the standard networking protocol and away from NOS-specific protocols like IPX/SPX and AppleTalk. AppleShare IP has been upgraded several times and has now been incorporated into Mac OS X Server
