To some extent I agree, but placing the server on the public internet for people you may or may not trust is a whole other ball game when it comes to security concerns.
I think the addition of user accounts and profiles are inevitable and find it hard to believe they're not on the roadmap for future SlimServer development. No doubt it's a major rewrite of most of the server, so I'm sure that's a big factor. The big push for user profiles, though, in't necessarily security related. It's things like having the ability to have different music libraries for different users, and having individual user interface preferences such as the web interface skin. Setup security would almost certainly be built into this - you'd have certain settings that are server-wide; performance settings, for instance, that only an admin could set. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21528 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
