An article over at Datamation looks at several new administrative security features in Mac OS X 10.4 Server. The most important of these features are Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Access Control Entries (ACEs). Apple made their implementation of ACLs compatible with Windows ACLs and Active Directory. In addition, ACLs in Mac OS X Server can operate on files as well as system services such as AFP, SMB, Printing, and more. Mac OS X 10.4 Server also supports Kerberos and NTLMv2 two-directional authentication for Windows clients.
