I am hopefull that once they see it in action (hopefully with a real admin behind it... just send add to freebsd-jobs) that they will welcome it. One of the things I am doing is trying to identify all the areas where we could use FreeBSD. Today I just found out there is a project which consists of keeping some data on the network, but safe. I can read/research about a secure/encrypted file system myself. What I would appreciate some pointers is what is a good way to have a secure connection between a windows box (probably NT) and a FreeBSD Box. This would need to be preferably NFS or Samba. I am not sure ftp would be convenient for these users (Accounting). Is there any reasonably secure way to have secure connections to mount a freebsd directory from NT? Perhaps some kind of tunneling with NT? One thing I was thinking of proposing was Rsync, but I am not sure how this would play with them since it is almost as arcane as ftp in terms of interface.
