Topic: VPN Linux Client to E-Smith

[david bakody]

I want to VPN to my e-smith box from my linux based desktop computer at home, and then mount remote Samba shares to my linux home computer.  This is laughably easy to do with a Windows VPN client to the E-Smith box, but I'm at a loss as to how to pull this off as a Linux client - which is a bit ironic.

Any straightfoward solution?  I'd like to leave the Windows world behind and this is one of my holdups.

Thanks.

Could PPTP-linux at http://cag.lcs.mit.edu/~cananian/Projects/PPTP/ be used to create a VPN between two LANs that use E-smith as their gateway? For example setup one E-smith server to accept PPTP the other as the PPTP-Client. That way all workstations on either side of the VPN could be PPTP client free.  Would this work?
