Okay, I have been really wanting a NAS box for my house.
I finally broke down and bought a Buffalo LinkStation Live from Fry's. A bit expensive (and I could probably get away with the LinkStation Pro which appears to be lower on the chain), but it seems to do what I want.
It includes an gigabit ethernet, an internal SATA hard drive, two external USB ports which can hold other drives, a printer, etc.
Best of all--it's Linux under the hood. Yay. It even uses XFS for the filesystem. Bonus!
I presume it's running Samba under the hood. I see no particular reason to change that, right now, so my question is:
How do I secure Samba? Is there a way to encrypt everything, or is it all in the clear? How about passwords? Is there a way to set up keys?
Any suggestion would be welcome. Thanks, -a -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
