Apple Network Services Location Manager Network - Manual (Page 8)

Security
The NSL Manager makes network services that were once difficult to find more readily
available to network users. It does not make sites less secure; it just makes it easier for clients
to find services that were already available.
If you use DNS to list your intranet’s services, you control which services clients can discover
through NSL searches. However, any network services that utilize SLP registration are
discoverable by the NSL Manager.
