While Mac OS X is becoming more and more stable with each release, its UNIX/BSD underpinnings have security implications that ordinary Mac users have never before been faced with. Mac OS X can be used as both a powerful Internet server, or, in the wrong hands, a very powerful attack launch point. Yet most Mac OS X books are generally quite simplistic -- with the exception of the author's "Mac OS X Unleashed," the first book to address OS X's underlying BSD subsystem. "Maximum Mac OS X Security" takes a similar UNIX-oriented approach, going into significantly greater depth on OS X security topics: Setup basics, including Airport and network topology security. User administration and resource management with NetInfo. Types of attacks, how attacks work, and how to stop them. Network service security, such as e-mail, Web, and file sharing. Intrusion prevention and detection, and hands-on detection tools.

Underneath the colorful interface of Mac OS X is a powerful, complicated operating system based on BSD Unix. And Mac users of all kinds need help both in figuring out how to run OS X and in understanding how it worked and how to get the most out of it. In late Summer 2002 Apple is expected to release a new version of OS X -- code-named "Jaguar" -- that will add some end user features (like iChat), and that will improve OS X's stability. The second edition of Sams Teach Yourself Mac OS X in 24 Hours helps new users to understand how the new OS (different from the traditional Mac OS, as well as Windows) functions, and how to use it successfully. The book also explores how to use the native OS X applications that ship with the product.
