Brandon I know you are spending a lot of time looking at Sherpath.  I have
only had time to take a brief look but I did notice a few things of concern:

- it appears to require ftp enabled for it's file management.  This is
insecure and the main reason ftp is disabled under SME by default.

- it appears to authenticate users via an admin defined mySQL database
table.  IE it does not appear to tie into or use any existing SME system for
authentication.

Has anyone else taken a further look at these security issues?

Again I have not had time to look into the code.  Maybe it is safe but at
this point I at least wanted to voice these concerns for devinfo discussion,
so comments are welcomed from those that have taken a deeper look.

Regards,
