I'm not sure that SMB is a safe thing to do that way. It wasn't really designed for security. Samba seems to give us more controls than Windows does, but restricting access to certain IPs, for instance, relies on the IPs that *they're* configured with, which can be changed by them at will. On the other side of the coin, Windows seems to love providing the operators username and password to any SMB share its trying to connect to. Seems an easy way to reap people's details just by being on their network. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
