Re: [suse-security] Security issues when using Samba?

the probelm is that the password is still trasmitted over the network in clear text thus anyone running a sniffer on the network may be able to get your passwords. Ideally if you can have a linux box on his end as well and then do a VPN using swan you can be sure your communications are not being tapped. Otherwise for me I use a web based interface for users who want to upload their pages using mod_dav and webrfm and of course I use ssl for it.
