Well, we *are* actually using SAMBA over OpenVPN, though only for highly
priviliged people right now. It's not even that difficult, if I prepare
an installer... Hmm, I'll have to think about that one a little more.
I'm afraid that using a proper, certificate-based setup would be rather
difficult, but PSK might work. In fact, even certificates may work if I
can figure out a way to send them securely and hassle-free to ~ 200
people...
Of course, SMB clients are easy to come by on Windows, and OpenVPN can
be made to look pretty. Not a bad idea...
Thanks, that'll give me some thinking to do!
