Can't find anything about SWAT in searching for updates, new programs, etc. It has been my understanding in the past that SWAT (Samba Web Administration Tool) was part of the Linux distribution. Am setting up a server and got thu most of it, but cannot log onto my server from Win machines because the passwords. Is there some other way to easily set up PWs or does one have to go the Command Line route? Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Re: SWAT support
You have to install the swat and xinet packages.
Then you have to add:
# description: SAMBA SWAT
service swat
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = root
wait = no
server = /usr/sbin/swat
}
to /etc/xinetd.d/swat
Restart the server and you should get into localhost:901 where you can add users

Hi Kenneth,Originally posted by u21300135
I'm tring to user SWAT also and have followed this post of yours but, I have a question.
With the user set to 'root', how am I to use SWAT as root? I bring the browser as a user not root.

Re: SWAT support
The way I have solved logging in is to set the root passwd.
Use
sudo bash
passwd
to change the root passwd.
Now you can log in to swat with root and the new passwd.
Dont know if this is the best way but it works
