security

A few weeks back, Matthew Weier-O'Phinney wrote a very helpful discussion of model layer infrastructure using various components of the Zend Framework. I especially appreciated his advice on using Zend_Form as an input filter inside the model class itself; it provides a very clean way to keep validation and filtering logic properly encapsulated.

Having finished assembling the hardware and installing the base operating system for my home-grown NAS device, I've moved on to the fine art of tweaking.  For now, since there isn't a hard drive in the box for major storage, I'm focusing on two things: the long-term stability of the CompactFlash card, and the general security of the machine.
