robert's recommendation sounds like the best way. i can make samba listen on the public interface (the internet with the static ip) and just mount the shares via that way. but: is this secure? is there some way of wrapping it through ssh? (i've heard this concept used a lot, but never actually used it in practice. links to url's would be greatly appreciated.) i know i could then restrict ip access to those ports with iptables. if samba isnt the way to go, any other suggestions?
