This won't work.  The users of the SMB clients need to access the data as 
easily as a file server.

&gt; &gt; Subject: [ale] SMB options
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Hello,
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; I have an FTP server sittting on the Internet.  One group of users
&gt; &gt; uploads files via FTP the other group downloads those files via SMB. 
&gt; &gt; Securing SMB communications in most cases is handeled by listing the SMB
&gt; &gt; users's IP address in an IPTables rule with a -j ACCEPT.  But recently I
&gt; &gt; gained an SMB user an ALLTel's network and ALLTel blocks port 135.  The
&gt; &gt; only options I can come up with is eithher FreeSwan or PopTop and from
&gt; &gt; recent experiences I'm not excited about using either.  I wonder if I
&gt; &gt; could run SMB on another port? Under Linux I don't see a problem but the
&gt; &gt; Windows workstations mounting the share can't be modified since they also
&gt; &gt; participate in an SMB based LAN.  Any suggestions are welcomed.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Thanks.
&gt; &gt;
