I have 2 servers (both Red Hat 9) separated by the Internet. There are Win users on both sides enjoying Samba. I need to share a folder on ServerB with the users on ServerA ...
PC ----- ServerA ---------- ServerB ----- PC SMB Internet Folder SMB
ServerB will have a folder to be used by both PC groups.
What should I use for a secure "tunnel" between the two servers? Tunnel needs to be self sustaining 24x7 and invisible to the users.
Would NFS be a good way to make the shared folder available to ServerA and then share it with Samba? Can NFS and Samba work with the same directory and not collide?
I don't want to just tunnel the SMB ports because that makes *all* shared folders visible on both sides.
You really need to use a secure VPN, such as FreeSwan. Opening up SMB or NFS on the internet is just asking to be 0wn3d.
