SlimServer really has very little in the way of security for handling this type of outside access. The connecting user can play music on any of your Squeezeboxes as well as those of other connected users, and can even download music files from your server. An adequate solution from a security standpoint goes way beyond just hiding players that aren't on the connecting browser's local subnet, so it's probably understandable that the developers might say "if you want to open up your server like that, then it's your choice" instead of implementing something half baked. Like you say, it requires things like user accounts, logins and permissions, plus much better client management options than now exist. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32972 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
