Another Brick at the Leopard Firewall
Heise Security reports that Leopard signs apps for use with its firewall, and that sometimes breaks them:
"Users who start Skype from the GUI merely see a dancing symbol which then disappears without further comment. Reinstallation is required to restore the application to normal function.
"World of Warcraft players are reporting similar problems. Some are viewing the message, 'Unable to validate game version. This may be caused by file corruption or the interference of another program.' The game's makers Blizzard are clearly aware of the problem, but so far the only available workaround is to reinstall WoW completely."
That's no good. I think the Leopard firewall is going to figure prominently in point release notes.
