Are the people who you want to connect to Samba locally on your network or will they be connecting over the Internet? Its just I don't see why you would need OpenVPN unless they were connecting over a public network.

Greetings All,

I am new to this list and currently have a Fedora 3 server set up with Samba which just needs to be configured.

I would like to set up the MySQL database support for users and passwords as we have another project that will want to add entries to the Samba database so when the users are created so that they will have access to their home directories via samba.

Could someone please give me a little guidance on how to set this up?

I have Samba "samba-3.0.10-1.fc3" installed and my next step after getting it to function cleanly will be to install the OpenVPN software on the server so the clients will have clean and secure access through samba.

Thanks for any help and guidance that you could provide to get me started on the configurations.
