We have a web/database server running on redhat 6.2 and our file and print
box running Samba on Redhat 6.2. They are both on the inside of our
firewall, IPChains running on Red Hat. Currently, for moving information
between the two we use scp, it can be a little clunky, but it works and is
fairly secure. However, my boss is not happy about the inconvenience of it,
security always being inconvenient. To make matters worse, at least for the
easy transfer of information, we are finally going to a DMZ setup, with our
web/database in the DMZ and the fileserver on the inside.

Basically what my boss would like to be able to do is write to a Samba/NFS
type share on the file server from the webserver. My understanding is that
NFS should never be allowed through a firewall, and that Samba is only
marginally better. So, any suggestions?
