| Hi!
|
| I was thinking, is there a way to use a linux box with Samba running
in the
| DMZ of a firewall and to validate logons from the internal network?
|
| I.e. the users workstations are on the protected net on 192.168.111.xx and
| the Samba PDC resides in the DMZ, running subnet 192.168.222.xx.  If it's
| possible, what ports need to be open?

Something a little bit more secure, IMHO would be:


| Internet | ----------- | Firewall |------| DMZ |
				|            /
				|           /
				|          /
				|         /NMB traffic
				|        /SMB traffic
				|       /CIFS traffic
				|      /
				|     /
				|    /
			     | LAN |/

On the DMZ network in smb.conf allow only your LAN to access the
servers. Make sure, you have forwarding between interfaces disabled on them.
