Apple has released their Snow Leopard Security Configuration Guide, a detailed 272-page PDF that examines all of the built-in security settings in Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6. This is not for novices, however. As Apple points out on the download page:

To use these guides, you should be an experienced Mac OS X user, be familiar with the Mac OS X user interface, and have at least some experience using the Terminal application’s command-line interface. You should also be familiar with basic networking concepts.
Certain instructions in the guides are complex, and deviation could result in serious adverse effects on the computer and its security. The guides should only be used by experienced Mac OS X users, and any changes made to your settings should be thoroughly tested.
