samba - Dec 2001 - Can Samba help establish (or support?) VPN between a RedHat Linux and a Windows 2000 across the Internet?

Any idea?
Thank you very much~

Samba can run over the top of VPN protocols like IPSEC(?) and PPTP.
There is a PPTP server for linux at poptop.lineo.com that supports
Windows 2000 connections via the built in "VPN Adapter".  The website
is
almost useless as it hasn't been updated in eons, but the mailing list
is very active and there are people that will help you.

yes using IPSEC

www.freeswan.org

But samba does not participate in establishment it just uses the tunnel.

Ive done Linux to Linux IPSEC and run samba over it without serious
problem (browsing seems a problem machines dont appear in NN but
connections work fine) From what I understand there should not be any
difficulty (beyond setting up IPSEC) in doing the same thing Linux to
WIN2K
