Samba over SSH
Hello.
I'm fairly new to linux.
I was wondering how to run Samba so I could access my Windows XP computer from my Linux machine.
I'm currently running Fedora 7.
Don't really know much about Samba or SSH.
Soo....Any advice?

why is ssh involved in this? unless you're doing something like trying to securely connect over the internet or something, then there's no reason to involve ssh at all. you should be able to refer to the standard places like the network places in the fedora desktop menus.

ok, well an ssh tunnel on port 445 will sort you out just fine if you can already get ssh access. so under linux it'd be somethign like
ssh -L 1234:127.0.0.1:445 user@domain.com
log in and then connect to port 1234 on your local machine in order to be tunnel to port 445 on the remote windows machine.

an error about port 5900 when you're not using it? 5900 is for VNC, not SMB/CIFS.

Is 1234 the right port to connect from?
How do you find out?
