&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Hello,
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;I have an FTP server sittting on the Internet.  One group of users
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;uploads files via FTP the other group downloads those files via SMB.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Securing SMB communications in most cases is handeled by listing the
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;SMB users's IP address in an IPTables rule with a -j ACCEPT.  But
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;recently I gained an SMB user an ALLTel's network and ALLTel blocks
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;port 135.  The only options I can come up with is eithher FreeSwan or
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;PopTop and from recent experiences I'm not excited about using
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;either.  I wonder if I could run SMB on another port? Under Linux I
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;don't see a problem but the Windows workstations mounting the share
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;can't be modified since they also participate in an SMB based LAN.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Any suggestions are welcomed.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;        
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;Personally, I think you're absolutely insane to be permitting Windows
&gt;&gt;&gt;file sharing over the internet.  You're just asking for trouble.
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;You should find a different solution. What about ssh?
