Hi Kevin,
You might take a look at openvpn instead - http://openvpn.net.
I've had great success for 3+ years using openvpn on my samba server and
having windows machines accessing shares via the vpn link. Since openvpn
can use udp as well it provides a much more resilient transport for samba
traffic (At the cost of some throughput I'm sure.)
Hope this helps,
-Mike.

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.

Yep - thanks for that. We've used VPN's successfully before - but the
client wants to attach from various locations and setting up VPN's is
too much.
Also, we had trouble setting up a VPN from his house - can't remember
the details apart from the fact that it was BT's fault!
Cheers,
Kevin
