Fundamental security.
If done properly, it is not subject to replay attacks.
With userid/password, once you snoop it, you can use it forever.
And implemented properly, it is no more work for th

Highly secure. The time it would take to crack is significant whereas
user/pass is generally vulnerable to brute force attack.

OK. Thanks for all the help so far; I've now entered the world of OpenSSH
and I am now totally lost and somewhat nervous. I have installed OpenSSH
and generated the Group and Password files - but am not able to understand
the key pair generation 'instructions'.

Now to add some security - but if I implement SSH how can I allow friends
access from their homes direct via their Squeezeboxes
With ssh you don't need port mapping on the router. Use ssh's tunneling
instead. You'd have to have a PC running at your friends'. Connect it
using ssh to your serv
That did it! Excellent.
Now to add some security - but if I implement SSH how can I allow friends
access from their homes direct via their Squeezeboxes (as opposed to
SoftSqueeze)?

HTTP Port, and '3483' as Slimserver SlimProto Port.
Is this right? Should there be a 9090 in there somewhere?
You don't need 9090 (it's the CLI), but 3483. Configure the mapping for
this port, too.

OK; getting there. Forwarded ports 9000 and 9090, and now I have managed to

One follow-up - if I 'forward' port 9000 will that interfere with my home
Slimserver operation?

I don't know what sort of internet connection you have, but my cable
modem system has about 3 Mbps download speed and only 300kbps uplink
(this is typical for cablemodem service). That means I cannot stream
.flac files to a remote location via the internet because most require
