2 redhat servers..
we need to have one machine able to read and write to the 2nd disk on the 2nd machine.
we cant use smb (port is blocked)
we cant use nfs (port blocked)
we cant use smb over poptop (the client linux server needs a kernel patch -- we cant recompile kernel remotely)
any ideas?
besides ftping files back and forth (which is so messy), how else can we do this?

Run SMB/NFS over http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/.

Doesn't need kernel patch, and is easy to set up.

PoPToP should work fine in newer kernels, especially 2.6.x kernels. I had it up and running in about 5 minutes on a Debian Sarge (testing) box.
