And I never got around to the second part of the comment.
eth0 (the "WAN" port) on the XS should be in a different subnet
than the laptops (the "LAN" ports).    If for some reason it is not,
difficulties will ensue as the routing tables will be screwed up.

EG. directory /library/users/SHC03801C18 on XS is just 1 of many examples of an XO-1.5 "incompletely" registering -- all similar directories contain:
