All good points. :) Host security on a device like a music player is probably not top on the list of Logitec's priorities, but my bigger "worry" is, at least on the radio, the pointless open ports presented via inetd. Echo, time and daytime are open for no real reason (unless someone can tell me why). I do wish perl was installed!
