Hi,

I've always wondered why support has to get involved.  Why not let
users delete/un-register squeezebox devices via a mysqueezebox web page,
once they log in. (what account deletes/unregisters could be tracked)

What's the worst that could happen?  A persistent hacker, after they
register for a mysqeezebox account, could guess a few MAC addresses and
delete a few devices; so the real owners re-register them.  The hacker
gets little "reward" because they won't know who's device they hacked.

A real world comparison:  Panasonic Web Cams.

Panasonic runs a reverse dynamic DNS server for some models of
Panasonic Web Cams.  (You can find your webcam on the internet by name,
not just IP).  Users can delete/un-register ANY MAC address from the
database.  This has been available for at least five years and doesn't
seem to be abused, because it currently working as I describe.


Just my idea on how to make the management of squeezebox devices even
easier.
