[linux-cifs-client] tunnel cifs share with other port than 139

[Ernst Blaauw]

Hi,

As my home computer (Ubuntu 9.04) has a Samba server enabled, I cannot use
the port 139 and 445 to tunnel a cifs share to my Network Media Tank running
DropBear. Therefore, I tried the following:

ssh -f -N -L 2139:localhost:139 -L 2445:localhost:445
root at user.dyndns.org-i /home/user/.ssh/nmt/id_rsa_root.openssh -p 2022

and then:

smbmount //localhost/share /home/user/nmt -o
port=2139,username=nmt,password=1234,ip=127.0.0.1

After this, I receive the error:

retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

Without using a tunnel it works normally, but that's not safe over internet.

Can someone help me to tunnel cifs over a different port range than the
standard ports 139 and 445?

Thanks! Ernst
