Thanks, Silencio, that looks pretty cool. I like the GigE and SATA too! I haven't yet done my homework as to whether or not ACLs are needed here.
Not quite clear on what you mean by "assigning both users to the same group." A networking thing, or file sharing thing you mean?
tahoedrew, I was thisclose to using my G3 but have decided against it for two main reasons. One, if it's running iTunes and serving it out, it needs to stay current. It'd be OK today, but one day it won't run the same iTunes the clients will. Two is energy use. I did some homework here, and a G3 doesn't use a lot of power but it uses more than a NAS. Other Mac options that would be low power such as a laptop or mini that would stay current are overkill (and expensive) for this task.
