Samba on Linux

I sat through a pretty cool presentation on using Samba on Linux.  It was being given by the Utah Valley Linux Users Group, and was a good overview of getting things going.  There were a number of key points to consider in this situation.

One of the conversations was about security.  They talked about
accessing Windows shares over SSH and that it’s not easy.  I did a
quick on Google and found that there was a good How-To page called using SSH Tunneling to access Windows share that even referenced a free non-commercial SSH client that enables this.

I’m going to take a look at this and see what I can do to enable SSH on
the Samba server that I am configuring.  This would make things
much better.
