How has this changed from the last NSA Security Configuration Guide 1.1 which has been up there for some time?
Thanks,

[ANNOUNCE] Mac OS X Server - NSA Security Configuration Guide - Now Available!
I am very pleased to have the honor of announcing the immediate availability of the much anticipated Security Configuration Guide for Mac OS X Server 10.3.x released by the National Security Agency's Systems and Network Attack Center (SNAC).
This Security Guidance Document is another public deliverable from a multi-year Cooperative Research And Development Agreement (CRADA) between the Research Directorate at the National Security Agency and Apple Computer, Inc.
The document is currently posted on the NSA / IA website and will then also be posted and referenced on the Apple ITPro & Federal websites.
