[stunnel-users] some newbie questions

[Algol Tradent]

I'm not sure stunnel is your best option here. SMB
uses TCP and UDP connections and multiple ports (3
different ports i think)

I think a VPN solution would work better here. IPSec
VPN or SSL VPN 

Here is also a document on tunneling samba with ssh
http://www.ibiblio.org/gferg/ldp/Samba-with-SSH/
That could be another way to go...
