Tiger, more than a pretty face

I tend to get wrapped up in the pretty front end of Mac OS X. Spotlight, Dashboard, and the Automator are all very cool but as John C. Welch points out Tiger has a lot changes to its far less glamourous underbelly as well.

Amongst the big changes are:

• Support for ACL's in Tiger server
• Unix commands support the HFS+ structures (you can move stuff without worrying about the resource forks)
• NTLMv2 and Kerberos security for Windows signon added

And a bunch more geeky things which will, no doubt, be music to your favorite Unix/Mac geek friend.
