Hi... I think there were some questions posted a while back about getting SqueezeCenter (aka SlimServer) working with MClient / mvpmc-box under the Debian version of Linux:
I just switched my server to Debian and found that the Debian version of SlimServer was locked down and adjusted such that there was no getting in from the out side. Here's what I believe you need to do: As root, edit the file /etc/defaults/slimserver and comment out the HTTP_ADDR=127.0.0.1 and CLI_PORT=0 lines. These over ride the setting you make inside of SlimServer. Now go onto the SlimServer's web page at localhost:9000 with a web browser on the same machine. Under Server Setting / Security / Allowed IP Addresses change the entry to something like 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.* given you and all your clients are on subnet 192.168.1.* and you trust everyone on that subnet. If not, change this line accordingly. You might need to lower the CSRF and other Protection Levels here as well. Now go to Server Settings / Network and change the Command Line Interace Port Number to 9090. I believe everything should work on MClient / mvpmc now. I suspect you would have needed these same changes on the Debian distribution of SlimServer if you were going to use any of the slimdevice boxes. If you are still worried about security you can try restricting the IP addresses and raising the protection level. Some people on more public networks do have a real concern as port 9090 attaches to the SlimServer's Command Line Interface (CLI) and can be used to delete or otherwise mangle their music collection. There has been a request to add SlimServer style password protection to MClient / mvpmc. If more people are interested I'll see what I can do. ...have fun ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
