What prevents someone from finding out that I have a Dlink DNS box on the lan and having them download the ESU program and then start messing with what config build into that program without having admin access to the box? Example - Language, DHCP, IP, Netmask, Gateway etc......

Being overly paranoid myself, I understand your concerns - however, given the intended use of the device, I would like to suggest that if you have security issues on the local LAN, you most likely have bigger problems than the DNS-323 to worry about.

Well, my concern is if I recommend and start using some of these at work - there are ALWAYS nosy ppls.......

Aha - using consumer grade equipment in the corporate environment is always a risky proposition.
Have you considered the fact that you cannot, with the standard firmware, integrate the DNS-323 into an AD domain, and that your access control choices are read/write & read only? I would think you'll have more curiosity in that regard than folks taking the trouble to download the ESU to poke around in your settings.
For corporate use, especially in a Windows environment, I would be more inclined to suggest a Windows Storage Server based product rather than linux.

Well, it would be a read only environment - archival of PDF manuals, memos, policy book sections/updates. They are just using a xp box and sharing a drive read only. But I thought this might work better for that task because it can be tucked away where someone will not mess with it like they do that computer at times.
It not a big company, 100 employees or so - but am just looking for a cheap solution for a simple task.
But you are correct about using consumer equip in a business environment - security is not the highest concern. But then again, samba has alot more capabilities - they just need to update the web interface to access them.
