Post-upgrade security warning

Just a heads-up to check your firewall settings (security in preferences) after upgrading Leopard.

My firewall was disabled after upgrading, and it was definitely enabled prior to the upgrade.

Thanks for the heads up Joshua, though I have to ask, how do you turn it back on again?

I noticed that the firewall tab is now in the security preference pane, but not sure which option means that the firewall is on...

Any help would be appreciated.

Select "Block all incoming connections" and it will be on.

I also select Advanced and turn on Stealth Mode for added security.
