[OS X TeX] Leopard 10.5.1

[Richard Seguin]

The firewall is basically left off and wide open by default after  
upgrading, even if you had it on and air tight before updating. It's  
also a little different than the previous one, and I'm not sure what  
the precise differences are. I've heard that it is probably not as  
secure as the previous one, but that the old one, now with no GUI  
front end, is still there in the code. Supposedly it can be  
manipulated through the terminal somehow, but when I have time I'm  
going to be investigating a free-ware GUI front end that someone has  
made for it:
