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,

Do you have root or SSH access to the NAS box? My Infrant X6 (runs
Debian) does not (at the moment - promised in a future system update).
But the security on both the Samba (and NFS) servers on the X6 seem
pretty solid already. I would suspect the same is true for the LinkStation.
