The unix part of osx isn’t locked or hidden any more than it is on fedora (My favo-ditsro wootwoot!) all u do is open a terminal which

correct

There is no sudo or su- to deal with. As long as you are logged into
the computer you have full access to the underbelly of the operating
system.

not true.

there is "sudo" - works same as usual for root privileges on the fly to a user account with "Administrative" rights.

Im not sure if you can ssh to a mac pc from a remote location, but im
about to find out right now

you can - there is a firewall (based on *bsd's ipfw) which is
unfortunately turned off by default in Leopard. Enable and customize
it to filter wanted/unwanted access to services like sshd, etc
