Well, yeah, installing hamachi under OS/X is not as convenient as under
Windows, sorry, but there's an OS/X version available.
separate account (called slimserver or something) which is the only one
that has slimserver running, and has only read access to my music files,
and no access to anything else. thus, if someone atacks my computer
through port 9000, and slimserver, they will have an extremely limited
scope, because they can't get to anything other than my music (and they
can only read that).
Configure IP filters on your router and only allow certain IP addresses
in. That's perfectly secure and fairly easy to set up, provided your
'clients' have static ip's.
i also am not allowing other people to listen to my music. if i do the
best i can to secure my network, and someone pirates my music anyway, i
cannot be held legally liable for this.
Good for you!
