OS X defaults with everything off. Anything that shares over the network is a service. Check the Sharing section in System Preferences for those in OS X, iTunes Sharing preferences for those in iTunes, Server (if you bought it) for those in OS X Server, Messages Preferences for those in Messages. And so on.
Which services you want depends on what kind of machine it is. Laptops should of course run fewer services, as they travel about a lot; you don’t want just anybody being able to share your iTunes library, in many cases. But maybe that’s fine on your home network. I’m very tired at this point so I can’t give a more thorough answer, but hope this helps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
