Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I'm taking my tower and set up to work, and short of reformatting the hard drives I'd like to get any advice on how to protect my computer's security. I'm not overly paranoid, but a little concerned. Ideas? I know this could be the wrong forum, but I will be editing at work with FCP.
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
security for what, exactly? Do you not want other people on the network to get onto your machine?
Might you have a second / similar Mac at your work site as well?
If so, have you considered an external portable boot volume / device that's essentially a clone of your main hard drive at home?

No second computer at work. I suppose this is why they are paying me to bring in my own.
I suppose I just don't want people to have access to my personal stuff when I'm not there. It wont be hooked up to a network.
well turn on the password protection
turn off automatic login
set it so the password is needed once the screensaver comes on
set the screen saver to come on in a reasonable amount of time
turn off sharing
turn off wifi
I'd consider creating a new user account (ours is called Editor) and using only that for things at work
my machines are on the network and connected to the web, and I use all those settings. However, I have all of them on my logmein account so I can access them from offsite, which I do a lot to transfer files and monitor rendering, etc.
Thanks for the help.
