I am trying to see if this is even possible. We have a network in my office of mostly Windows machines, all connected to the internet via a firewall. We have a co-located Linux server in another state. I want to centralize my authentication setup, so that there is but a single username/password combincation used accross all systems. I have configured SSHD on the co-located Linux server to authenticate using pam, and to use pam_smb. I have three SSH tunnels (although I doubt all three are needed or even are usefull) : ssh -2 -L 137:windows.pdc.com:137 local.ssh.server.com ssh -2 -L 138:windows.pdc.com:138 local.ssh.server.com ssh -2 -L 139:windows.pdc.com:139 local.ssh.server.com All of these are very stable and remain open all of the time. By adding a user in my /etc/passwd file like this: gkopp:*:501:501:Greg Kopp:/home/gkopp:/bin/bash I can successfully authenticate this against the windows PDC. YEAH! Now, I am trying to take a directory on the co-locted server, and be able to share it accross an SSH tunnel. Any ideas on how I can do this? Greg
