This actually is something I'd been thinking about recently.

I have three Squeezeboxes (in my living room, bedroom, and office).  I
also have some friends who I've given my DynDns alias to so they can
access the Slimserver.  A while back I had a really weird problem pop
up where when one of my friends would hit the Slimserver, it would turn
on the SB2 in my bedroom and start playing from his playlist.  

Now this was just mildly annoying, in that I'd end up going into the
bedroom and see the VU meters on the display and wonder what the heck
was happening until I figured it out.  But if it had "stuck" to my
living room player, which has an IR blaster and turns the stereo on
when it comes on, I'd probably have jumped out of my skin when the
player activated in the middle of the night.

It would probably be nice to have a user management module tied into a
permissions module so that control could be assigned on a per-player
and per-user basis.  

I know I've also seen similar requests with regards to which players
could play which songs (in that case someone had parts of their music
collection that they didn't want their children accessing from the SB
in their room).

I never did figure out why my friend's instance of iTunes sync'd with
my bedroom player, though (there's no sync option for remote players). 
A wipe and reinstall caused the problem to go away.
