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.
