I've never seen a single report of a > rouge SC process mangling a user's music because it was rw. I think it is pretty safe to let SC have rw access to the music files and most people won't care. I'm pretty sure most people using SC on Windows have a configuration where SC has write access to the music files.
Personally I like SC to have read-only access to eliminate any risk that a buggy plugin or security hole cause SC to destroy one or several music files. However, I also think that most people that feels this way probably already have some linux knowledge and can change the configuration as they like. I would have expected SlimServer to get read-only access to the music files independent if the music files where provided from a local drive or through a NAS. The reason is simply that there is no reason that the SC process should have write access since it shouldn't write to the files. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40818 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
