I know I can set up an SSH tunnel and proxy my traffic through the tunnel, either by using specific predetermined ports or by using the -D option so it works like a socks proxy. My question is, can I pass NFS or SaMBa traffic via an SSH tunnel as well? Performance via the tunnel is not a priority.
Samba yes, port 139(*), the host you are tunneling from will need to be allowed to access the share. NFS, don't know. (*) Can be tunnelled from a Windows machine if you: 1. Install a loopback interface on 10.0.0.x (**) 2. Do the forwarding from 10.0.0.x:139 to the server port 139 3. Point windows at the share on 10.0.0.x:139 (**) Apparently there's some issue with 127.0.0.x loopbacks, but I've never investigated. -- imalone
