I am just about to install a gateway server into
our network to provide external access to students work.
My idea is to use Samba/winbind/Pam_mount to mount
our NT home share for the user as /home/user/share,
then use a scponly shell to provide ssh encripted
access to that share remotely. Clients can then use WinSCP
if they insist on using a windows box.
Hopeing to use SuSE 9.1 for the
install.
Question is, anyone have any ideas on what sort of
processor power I will need?
I have a PII 300 system that I can use, or a
Celeron 433 both with 128Mb ram. I would not expect massive traffic as it
will
be limited by our 2Mb connection to the outside
world.
Am I being un-realistic on the hardware
here?
