How do you "check firewall logs" for the built-in OSX firewall, and what should I look for?

Interesting...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2693925.stm
http://slashdot.org/articles/03/01/25/1 … ml?tid=109
Some quotes from SlashDot...
"This has effectively disabled 5 of the 13 root nameservers."
"This could have been a lot lot harder to filter out. I expect we'll see ThisWorm v2 soon."
"Microsoft released a patch for this 24th July, 2002."
http://www.boredom.org/~cstone/worm-annotated.txt
"SQL is easy to secure, and the guidelines are well known "
"...this (once again) brings to the fore the problem of admins who don't look after their systems/networks..."
http://www.digitaloffense.net/worms/mssql_udp_worm/
... (and so it goes) ...
Well, it seems we've got another case of useless sysadmins who aren't able to maintain patches to products. They're being caught out fully six months after the patch was released from MS. I'm not a big fan of MS, but they seem to be more or less in the clear on this one (why the hole existed in the first place is an issue for another topic).
Still... it seems to have been harmless enough, so it's a good, timely reminder that patches are put out for a reason. Maybe we'll see the slack sysadmins pick up their game now.

Re: Damn, here we go again... Nimda/Code Red pt.2
PARANOIA!
I tried logging onto MacAddict, couldn't. Tried MacOSRumors, no dice. Macrumors, nothing. What's all this? Was there some super-juicy rumor? Did Steve Jobs have them all shut down? What's going on? What? What? What?
Aha ... check Yahoo! news. Worldwide Internet slowdown. Messiness. Unpleasantness.
Calm ... relax ... deep breaths ... okay, connecting to MacAddict now ... ahh ... the world is once again as it should be ...

Same here. I had to entertain myself with the second build of A+ for a couple hours

Same question. No one's answered it...
