Hello, I'm not sure stunnel is your best option here. SMB uses TCP and UDP connections and multiple ports (3 different ports i think) I think a VPN solution would work better here. IPSec VPN or SSL VPN Here is also a document on tunneling samba with ssh http://www.ibiblio.org/gferg/ldp/Samba-with-SSH/ That could be another way to go... --- Lluís Forns <webmaster@escoltesiguies.cat> wrote:

Let me first explain what I want to do in order to see if stunnel is what I need: I have some laptops around the world and I want to let them login in my intranet. The login is versus a Samba server. So more or less the connection would be:

Laptop (running winXP) --- router --- internet --- router --- linux ssh server(port 22 open) --- linux samba server

Could stunnel help me achivieng this? any hint of how? I have read the documentation, but I am a little lost.

thanks
