Firewall Settings Gone for iChat 4?

Hi

You will find the firewall in sys prefs/security.

As far as i can see so far is to click the + at the bottom of the firewall window and just add iChat(will look for a doc).

Ok found this.

"Setting firewall access for services and applications

Mac OS X includes a firewall: a security measure that protects your computer when you’re connected to a network or the Internet. If you turn on a sharing service, such as file sharing, Mac OS X opens a specific port in the firewall for the service to communicate through. When you open the Firewall pane of Security preferences, any sharing services turned on in Sharing preferences, such as File Sharing or Remote Apple Events, appear in the list.

In addition to the sharing services you turned on in Sharing preferences, the list may include other services, applications, and programs that are allowed to open ports in the firewall. An application or program might have requested and been given access through the firewall, or might be digitally signed by a trusted certificate and therefore allowed access.

IMPORTANT: Some programs have access through the firewall although they don’t appear in the list. These might include system applications, services, and processes (for example, those running as “root”). They can also include digitally signed programs that are opened automatically by other programs. You might be able to block these programs’ access through the firewall by adding them to the list.

To add an application to the list, select “Set access for specific services and applications” in the Firewall pane of Security preferences, click Add + at the bottom of the list, and then select what you want to add. After the program is added, click its up and down arrows to allow or block connections through the firewall.

Blocking a program’s access through the firewall could affect the performance of other applications and services you use."
