this is part of the reason I uninstalled slimserver from my normal user account (not an administrator, but plenty of personal information), and reinstalled it under a dedicated slimserver user account. I then gave the new slimserver user read-only access to my music library and read-write to the playlists folder.
if someone exploits a buffer overflow in the slimserver software they won't get very far. okay they could trash my slimserver installation and copy all my music, but they wouldn't able to access any of my other files or delete any music. -- kefa Mac OS X 10.4.8, Slimserver 6.5.0, Netgear DG834GT fw V1.02.04 Squeezebox 3 fw 64, Primare SPA20, Monitor Audio GR20 Squeezebox 2 fw 64, Denon UD-M30 SoftSqueeze, Cyrus 3, Monitor Audio R90 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kefa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=421 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30564 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
