The amount of Mac users are fairly less as compared to windows. So this doesn’t make any sense for hackers to attack Mac OS users. This is somehow can be an advantage for some people as it makes the user feel Mac Os more secure but can be a disadvantage for some others because at the same time it is not as much popular as the windows. That's why I was wondering where a Mac user would expect the config file to be, instead of just storing it somewhere and telling the user to cope.;-) – DevSolar Mar 28 '13 at 8:58.
