 Posted: Fri Feb 27, 2004 7:48 pm Post subject: Port forwarding Samba and NFS |
 |
|
I have a remote server that I'm running for a student organization that I work for.
It would be many times more convenient if I could mount the /pub directory via either nfs or samba on my home machine.
I'm sure that I could figure out which ports to forward just by looking through some docs. What I'm interested to know is which IP the machine "sees" accessing the NFS or Samba shares. Would it be my home machine, or would it look like localhost? Is there a way to use ssh to forward the ports so that it looks like localhost?
Also, is there a way to make NFS or Samba more secure? I understand that running either can be a security risk.... |

Yes, you don't use them 
ok, sorry, you can use ssh or some kind of stuff that basically do the same thing: port forward in a secure way, like in zebedee, maybe stunnel also.
Instead of port forwarding the nfs through ssh, I'd rather mount an ssh filesystem

If you want something more secure than nfs, use openafs (works well with 2.4), if you want something very performant try intermezzo, i don't know if coda could suit your needs.
personnaly, I think what uses the less cpu is lufs's ftp filesystem, but it's not secure. You have to choose between security and speed. For speed: ftpfs, nfs, samba. For security: sshfs or port forwarding.
