Chapter 4 –
Configuring System Settings
this guide, there is no need for this capability when configuring according to
this guide. This capability should remain disabled.
• Remote Apple Events: This service enables the machine to respond to
Apple events from other computers, which may carry security implications.
Configuring this capability is out of scope for this guide and it should remain
disabled.
• Printer Sharing: If enabled, users on other computers will be able to access
a printer connected to this machine. As this guide is addressing a machine in
a standalone capacity, this capability is not needed and should remain
disabled.
Also, the name of the machine should be changed. During installation, Mac OS X
gives the computer a name derived from the first account created on the system, in
the form of “Account Name's Computer”. This is undesirable because the machine
name appears in the login window and is often transmitted over the network. The
computer name should be changed to something unrelated to any accounts on the
system before connecting to the network.
Confirm configuration of the Services options and change the machine name as
follows:
1. Click on the Show All icon in System Preferences, or restart System
Preferences if necessary.
2. Click on the Sharing icon in the Internet & Network row.
3. Click on the Services button in the Sharing panel (Figure 13).
