I've heard of Free/SWAN but never tried it before. Will it require a kernel recompilation? I may try this out when I reinstall/upgrade Mandrake 8.2 on my gateway.

Access to the shares themselves will be protected by W2K's own authentication. As far as sniffing the traffic, ff you're running WEP, it should be a bit secure (but as you know, WEP is crackable). Does the IPSec/FreeSwan support peer-to-peer communications? If so, that may solve the sniffing problem. If it doesn't and you need absolute security then you may need to set up an ssh server on the wireless nodes and just use ssh. Cheers, G-3 _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
