Aye, true enough. It's the EASE of which one can do it. Resetting the
admin password to nothing is, quite literally, in this case, EASIER then
setting the time on a digital watch. And since the box can work with EXTERNAL
networks, such as NTFS mounts, Windows networks, etc, this could lead to a
compromise of your entire network, not just the little box.
Like I said, points is VERY valid. I'd just ensure people have as little
access to the physical box as possible.
As a second note I forgot about, it also has a built in FTP and web server,
as well as the ability to run Java servlets. Definatly a nice little box..
