Re: Samba over SSH
I am using FreeBSD 4.8 and Samba 2.2.8 as the server, I would like to use any windows operating system for the client side, but probably XP.

I am using FreeBSD 4.8 and Samba 2.2.8 as the server, I would like to use any windows operating system for the client side, but probably XP. (I want to map the samba share to the windows box) so one idea could be to start three ssh tunnels from client side. which command line u may wonna do something like this: $ ssh -L 137:localhost:137 -N -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh -L 138:localhost:138 -N -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh -L 139:localhost:139 -N -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] (putty should be able to do something similar. but i guess u will need some scripting so that these ssh commands will be executed on startup of the client systems or at least before the shares will be mounted of course.) now u should be able to connect ur clients to any share on server side with \\localhost\share-name i am not familiar with VPN. possibly its a better solution (?) seb Thanks for your Help Richard Puga [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sat, 2003-09-20 at 08:25, FreeBSD MAIL wrote: I want to use PuTTY and ssh to port forward and map a samba share across the internet.

Re: Samba over SSH
I guess the problem I am having is with PuTTY, I am forcing ssh 2 and putting in the ports and addresses for the client and server as best I can, I have been able to get VPN to work over pptp, which is cool but I would prefer using ssh. If you have a copy of putty laying around would you mind trying it? Or even teraterm-ssh, I am reluctant to use cygwin and such because of the user interface. Thanks again.

The problem you are going to have is that windows binds its NetBIOS stuff to local port 139 et. al. so there's no way to forward them with ssh. The only way to do this is to use a second, non-windows machine on your local LAN, and have IT ssh into the remote and then forward 139 et. al. After doing that, it will appear to have local shares to the windows box. Alternatively, you could try disabling File and Printer Sharing on the windows end and try to get whatever is listening on 139 to stop so that ssh can forward that port... I don't know if that's possible or not. The VPN method with PPTP (and mpd on the remote FreeBSD end) is what I ended up doing. I finally got it all working finally, and was quite disappointed with the speed. Samba over a broadband link to a server very far away was very slw. If your link is faster you'd probably have better luck.

Re: Samba over SSH
Unless you _must_ use samba, try using nfs with tcp connection through your vpn. It is much faster and still reliable. mount -t nfs -o -T host:/the/path/ /mount/point will use tcp for transport, thus ensuring you don't suffer problems even in the case of a disconnection of the vpn. Of course, the server must supprt nfs over tcp (most bsd do that). We use this to connect to a cvs server and it works great.
