I'm going to need some sort of centralized multi-user security for sure.

Thanks John.  I'll have to take a look at your article.

There's no ability for me to do commandline changes on this 328 - it's
still stock and has not been rooted.  No matter - I think for my
purposes, I'll do what I said in my previous message; Use the NAS as a
dumb data server, and put samba /NFS directly on there.  We'll see - not
a show stopper since i put in the workaround of a read-only share
accessing the data directly from the web server.
