Hey gang,

Is there a way to keep the "remote desktop" ports closed in the Apple firewall while running Remote Desktop? I'd like to require use of an ssh tunnel - but if I turn on Remote Desktop access, the firewall automatically opens the related ports.

I'm running Tiger client (not server).

I guess I need to know more about the internals of Apple's firewall. 😀 I could do this on my Linux box by editing the iptables rules - but of course this is a different beastie.

Thanks!
