Please correct me if I am wrong. There's no need to set up anything on the FreeBSD box as far as the VPN is concerned. It just wants to route through the LinkSys box which knows about the VPN tunnels. You do need to configure Samba to broadcast to the remote machine in the global section (swat is your friend here as it has excellent on-line help for the Samba configuration).
