hi there, i'm a new member of slimserver (i do not have a squeezebox),
and i'm working on accessing my music library over the internet using
softsqueeze.
i've been corresponding with a few people in the beginners forum on the
non-static ip thread, but i still have a few unanswered questions, and
as someone pointed me to this thread, i thought this might be the right
place to ask them, as it seems like you guys know what you're talking
about, much better than i do, at least.
first of all:  if i forward ports 9000 and 3843 (or whatever they are),
what real-life security risks does that pose?
second: if i use slimserver's password protection (which i do), does
that offer a significant amount of protection?
third: is it a good idea, as i saw that someone has done, to create a
separate user account for slimserver that only has access to my music
folder?

thanks a lot-
