Glad you were able to answer your own questions.  That happens to me a
lot too :-).

And yes, I was referring to the username/password you can set up in
Squeezecenter.

If you are going to set up remote access, it is really a good idea to
protect it with a user name and password.  Port 9000 is a well known
port value at this point, so it wouldn't be too hard for somebody to
gain access to your network through SqueezeCenter.  Some would argue
that even using the SqueezeCenter username/password isn't enough, but
you should use VPN.  I haven't gone that far.  Certainly you should at
least protect yourself with the username and password functionality
provided by SqueezeCenter.
