Why not just setup a samba share with read only permissions. That way the could only get to the one directories you shared out, they wouldn't have to login (Setup samba to use a guest account), and they don't have to use any other software than their Media player (winamp, etc.).

I don't want to grant them any other access and they more than likely won't know much about moving up to other directories so I'm not terribly paranoid about /tmp. Locally I use samba and NFS for my own stuff. I'm more comfortable having them use a secure login. Also, can I restrict a users ability to change the password? --- Jacob Meuser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > since it is only to login to the fileserver for music > > access. > > What does "music access" mean?
