Should be possible for Samba, not sure about rsync. You would need to
add and configure the relevant modules for the Samba and rsync
connections (as the CGI interface probably does not have them at the
moment). This will probably be a challenging project if you are not
familiar with Perl.

This should be simply a matter of changing the type of html field being
used to collect the data. Theoretically, all you would have to do is
find the spot in the code where it generates the config screen and
change it there. Of course, I'm not familiar with the code, so it is
possible there is something else involved.
