Yup, also concerning for me is that there don't seem to be a lot of updates
offered.
Samba 3.0.24 has some rather serious security issues, 3.0.25 came out 6 months
ago and additional updates have come out since. They may be backporting
patches but I should still have seen an update within the past week I would
have hoped. I expect there are other updates not in there samba just jumped
out at me because of it's recent history.
Offering a simple firewall configuration GUI would have been a helpful option
as well ... I don't recall seeing one.
On the plus side the device is completely open so there are no hacks needed to
blast your own OS onto it. I just don't feel like losing their interface (I
don't use it but it's interesting for people to whom I show the device).
