What about SSH tunnel with pptp? I know it's quite simple to set pptp running between two ssh's with pty-redir script.
On the windows side I guess it's possible if you forward the pptp though SSH (ssh from linux to windows running cygwin sshd and then open the connection from the windows side) This way you get two network interfaces that are routable for all protocols. Its possible to keep the connection easily alive with /etc/inittab and respawn command and a simple at command from the windows side Hope this helps, Ohad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ehud Karni Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 2:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; linux-il@linux.org.il Subject: Re: connectivity question On Tue, 12 Jul 2005 14:42:55 +0200, Danny Lieberman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ssh - requires MS services for Unix on the Windows boxes, secure, strong > authentication, good for transferring large files, or large numbers of > files over the WAN The Cygwin ssh/sshd is excellent (OpenSSH_4.0p1). > Samba - no client installation in Windows, smb on Linux, authentication > - take your choice, good LAN solution, arguable over the WAN You can tunnel the samba connection through ssh (limit you to one remote host only and disabling the local SMB server, because you must use the netbios-ssn port - 139 on the local machine).
