Thanks for your reply,

We are use ipsec vpn tunnel, so it has no 'virtual' IP Address during connect. Ie : when client connect from Hotel, he is directly using the Hotel LAN IP to connect back, so this is really hard to configure 'hosts allow'. My question is if I leave it blank, any security issue I need to concern. Fyi, our samba hasn't enable the guest account, so when every time client computer access the share folder, it still need to pass the authentication first.

Please advice.

B.Rgds

Hi,

I have some query about the samba security, we are trying to setup remote map drive for vpn client, since this kind of client connection which using different IP address, the only way we can do is to set 'hosts allow' to nothing.


If your VPN setup is anything like those I'm familiar with, your clients should be connecting with a 'virtual' tunneled IP address. That's the IP you need hosts allow to allow, not the actual Internet address.
