Hi, I use Samba for sharing content of my external 6 Tb hdd for my local network. Now, I want to redirect my hdd to all members of my family, but
I'll assume that by redirect you want to give access to some SMB shares to your family. - Will inbound traffic be coming from static/dinamic public IPs? - What clients will be used? - How many users will that be? - What type of content are you planning to share? - Can your internet connection handle the load?
it requires public access. I have public ip address.
- Static/Dinamic? - What about DNS?
So how is the best way to configure Samba for access with my public ip?
The best way is not to expose those kind of services to the internet.
I have all users and passwords created and I will use Ubuntu and I'll try to use gadmin-samba package, but I have no experience with this type of sharing, so if you have some tips, you can give them.
Don't do it, use something that is already available. If you want to still go ahead, you need to understand firewalling, securing a Samba server (username/PWD is no security in this case), understanding of the SMB protocol and security risk. Services like VPN and SSH could help but you still need to punch a hole in your firewall. I would also suggest to not use UPNP! :) -- John Doe _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
