Hi,
Has anyone successfully got a Windows PC to access Samba over an SSH
tunnel. This first of all worked immediately - but now seems to have
stopped.
I've tried with using putty and myentunnel to set up the tunnel - and
these are working when I test against a web server.
I've followed instructions at:
http://www.security-hacks.com/2007/05/18/tunneling-smb-over-ssh-secure-file-sharing
This has set up another loopback device which means that the Windows
machine can carry on with its own file sharing.
This is particularly important as my client needs to access Sage
Accounts data files which are Access files - I want them to continue
accessing the data using Samba - but as I need to put the server on to
the internet I need to tunnel the Samba traffic over ssh for security.
Any help, pointers gratefully received.

To reply to my own question...
The best thread I've found RE this issue is
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistanetworking/thread/d30d3c98-58c5-47f6-b5a5-f5620882020d/#page:1
Basically, MS have been childish again and are causing vast amounts of
grief and costs for businesses.
I have trouble viewing the contents of the folders - but this is
probably a Samba issue with the fact that the request is coming from an
unusual IP address - I'll look into it further - these are the logs.
