So far, so good. Got the server set up and my iTunes content migrated. Tested playback - IT WORKS! My MacBook Pro streams the music files hosted on my iMac with no lag.
The question I have is this: I obviously do not want to open this media server to the Internet at large. I DO, however, wish to make it available to other people in my household. Any advice on doing this?
Here's what I've done so far:

Here's what I've done so far:
- The administrator has a separate account from each of the "media bin" accounts
- The server will also run a Terminal script in yet another account, configured to auto-login and start that script at login
- System Preferences is locked down, so that the admin password is required for most tasks
- Apple Remote is disabled
- Network connection is via Ethernet
