On a recent OSX 10.9 install, I noticed the Firewall is disabled by default. This is different than older versions of OSX (10.6).
Pretty sure OS X has never enabled the firewall by default.
Well, I'm not so sure of that... I did some Mavericks installs that "killed" a messenging app we use at work.. Finally figured out it was the OSX firewall - which had been off, but was on after the Mavericks install. Might have been something else, but I sure didn't turn it on (our firewalling is handled by routers for themachinesi n question).
