I would like to see the following functionality in the next version of DNS-323 firmware:
1. More granular control of formatting hard drives. I would like to be able to choose raid level separately from formatting. I would like to be able to format each drive individually at any time.
2. NFS and NIS support. I would like to be able to configure the DNS-323 to be part of an NIS domain and to fully support NFS
3. More Samba features. I'd like the ability to use the DNS-323 as a WINS server, as a master local browser, and

even as an NT4 style domain controller

4. The ability to join the DNS-323 to a Windows Active Directory or another Samba domain.
5. A backup scheduling feature that actually worked. The current version doesn't seem to work unless I manually tell it to download. I would also like the ability to receive an email confirmation that the device ran the backup and what files were copied.
6. The ability to add a user to more than one group
7. SCP, SSH, and SFTP. I'd also like to be able to set the device up as a TFTP server to host firmware and router configuration files.
8. The ability to enter some sort of "advanced" mode and actually be able to edit and save the various configuration files (e.g. smb.conf, etc)
9. Syslog support. I'd like the device to send log messages to a remote syslog server
10. The ability to use the USB port to attach an external backup. This would increase the DNS-323's capabilities for small businesses and complex home networks because it would simplify backup creation. This would be an especially good feature when combined with the enhanced backup capabilities mentioned above.
