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.
Yes. Is FreeSwan the best way to do this?
maybe, maybe not. I'm admittedly not anything close to an expert on SMB or VPNs.
I've also been reading a bit about CIPE which seems to be included in RH. Know anything about it? http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html
And there are a dozen possible solutions listed here: http://linas.org/linux/vpn.html
Brain overload.
Ya, its confusing. You might be able to get away with doing something like stunnel, which is alot easier to impliment than a full strength encrypted VPN. Whatever you do, don't open NFS/SMB to the internet.
