[NTLUG:Discuss] Need help getting sambs to work over stunnel (please help!)

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello:

I have samba set-up and working completely fine
on my Linux server.  I can get to it using network 
neighborhood just fine.

Now, I want to set-up and stunneled connection to the server
so that the data is protected. 

I know about the ssl option for samba, but that is slated to 
be removed so I want to get this working with stunnel.

So, on the server, I issued this command:
/usr/sbin/stunnel -D 7 -d 2139 -r 139

On my client (A windows 2000 machine), here is what I did:
1. Created a directory c:\bin
2. Downloaded the file
http://www.kuix.de/ssl/stunnel-3.11-kai-gui-winexe.zip
	and extracted it.
3. I then went to a command line, changed to the c:\bin directory
   and typed this command:
 	stunnel.exe -D 7 -c -d 127.0.0.2:139 -n smb -r 204.130.252.205:2139

I then went to windows explorer and tried to add a network
place with the location \\127.0.0.2\Documents but when it
tries to connect, I get a pop-up that says the network path
was not found.  

On the client here is what I see:
C:\bin>stunnel.exe -D 7 -c -d 127.0.0.2:139 -n smb -r 204.130.252.205:2139
LOG5[1308:1256]: Using '204.130.252.205.2139' as tcpwrapper service name

LOG7[1308:1012]: Remote host connected
LOG7[1308:1012]: Negotiations for smb(client side) started

On the server, I see this message when I try to connect:
May  6 13:05:57 www stunnel[1362]: 139 connected from 65.185.3.177:1754

Any ideas?

Thanks,
	Neil.
