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

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.
