Digital Signature-less Software
I use Logitech Media Server 8.2. For it to run I have to ENABLE 'Allow installation of applications without a digital signature.' This obviously degrades security. Would implementing a Whitelist for these apps work, or would that open a can of worms?

Re: Digital Signature-less Software
Not that I can think of. Sounds like a good idea. Security settings should be on by default but allow exceptions. The global on/off switch inevitably results in an insecure configuration. You may want to suggest this improvement to QNAP (open a service ticket), although I'd bet they'll respond by telling you it's Logitech's problem, not theirs.

Re: Digital Signature-less Software
Logitech destroyed the Slim Devices. The open source software is now only supported by volunteers. It used to be an official QNAP PKG.
