+There are many and varied opinions regarding the usefulness of SWAT.  No matter how hard one tries to produce
+the perfect configuration tool, it remains an object of personal taste. SWAT is a tool that allows Web-based
+configuration of Samba. It has a wizard that may help to get Samba configured quickly, it has
+context-sensitive help on each &smb.conf; parameter, it provides for monitoring of current state of connection
+information, and it allows networkwide MS Windows network password management.

+<indexterm><primary>internetworking super daemon</primary></indexterm>
+SWAT is a facility that is part of the Samba suite. The main executable is called
+<command>swat</command> and is invoked by the internetworking super daemon.
+See <link linkend="xinetd">appropriate section</link> for details.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>man</primary></indexterm>
+SWAT uses integral Samba components to locate parameters supported by the particular
+version of Samba. Unlike tools and utilities that are external to Samba, SWAT is always
+up to date as known Samba parameters change. SWAT provides context-sensitive help for each
+configuration parameter, directly from <command>man</command> page entries.

+<indexterm><primary>internal ordering</primary></indexterm>
+Some network administrators believe that it is a good idea to write systems
+documentation inside configuration files, and for them SWAT will always be a nasty tool. SWAT
+does not store the configuration file in any intermediate form; rather, it stores only the
+parameter settings, so when SWAT writes the &smb.conf; file to disk, it writes only
+those parameters that are at other than the default settings. The result is that all comments,
+as well as parameters that are no longer supported, will be lost from the &smb.conf; file.
+Additionally, the parameters will be written back in internal ordering.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+<indexterm><primary>stripped of comments</primary></indexterm>
+Before using SWAT, please be warned &smbmdash; SWAT will completely replace your &smb.conf; with
+a fully optimized file that has been stripped of all comments you might have placed there
+and only nondefault settings will be written to the file.

+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>SWAT binary support</primary></indexterm>
+The very first step that should be taken before attempting to configure a host
+system for SWAT operation is to check that it is installed. This may seem a trivial
+point to some, but several Linux distributions do not install SWAT by default,
+even though they do ship an installable binary support package containing SWAT
+on the distribution media.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>swat</primary></indexterm>
+When you have confirmed that SWAT is installed, it is necessary to validate
+that the installation includes the binary <command>swat</command> file as well
+as all the supporting text and Web files. A number of operating system distributions
+in the past have failed to include the necessary support files, even though the
+<command>swat</command> binary executable file was installed. 
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>inetd</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>xinetd</primary></indexterm>
+Finally, when you are sure that SWAT has been fully installed, please check that SWAT
+is enabled in the control file for the internetworking super-daemon (inetd or xinetd)
+that is used on your operating system platform.

+<indexterm><primary>/usr/sbin</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>/opt/samba/bin</primary></indexterm>
+To validate that SWAT is installed, first locate the <command>swat</command> binary
+file on the system. It may be found under the following directories:</para>
+<para><simplelist>
+	<member><filename>/usr/local/samba/bin</filename> &smbmdash; the default Samba location</member>
+	<member><filename>/usr/sbin</filename> &smbmdash; the default location on most Linux systems</member>
+	<member><filename>/opt/samba/bin</filename></member>
+</simplelist>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The actual location is much dependent on the choice of the operating system vendor or as determined
+by the administrator who compiled and installed Samba.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There are a number of methods that may be used to locate the <command>swat</command> binary file.
+The following methods may be helpful.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>swat</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>operating system search path</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>swat command-line options</primary></indexterm>
+If <command>swat</command> is in your current operating system search path, it will be easy to 
+find it. You can ask what are the command-line options for <command>swat</command> as shown here:
+<screen>
+frodo:~ # swat -?
+Usage: swat [OPTION...]
+  -a, --disable-authentication         Disable authentication (demo mode)
+
+Help options:
+  -?, --help                           Show this help message
+  --usage                              Display brief usage message
+
+Common samba options:
+  -d, --debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL          Set debug level
+  -s, --configfile=CONFIGFILE          Use alternative configuration file
+  -l, --log-basename=LOGFILEBASE       Basename for log/debug files
+  -V, --version                        Print version
+</screen>
+</para>

+
+<sect3>
+<title>Locating the SWAT Support Files</title>
+
+<para>
+Now that you have found that <command>swat</command> is in the search path, it is easy
+to identify where the file is located. Here is another simple way this may be done:
+<screen>
+frodo:~ # whereis swat
+swat: /usr/sbin/swat /usr/share/man/man8/swat.8.gz
+</screen>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If the above measures fail to locate the <command>swat</command> binary, another approach
+is needed. The following may be used:
+<screen>
+frodo:/ # find / -name swat -print
+/etc/xinetd.d/swat
+/usr/sbin/swat
+/usr/share/samba/swat
+frodo:/ #
+</screen>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This list shows that there is a control file for <command>xinetd</command>, the internetwork
+super-daemon that is installed on this server. The location of the SWAT binary file is
+<filename>/usr/sbin/swat</filename>, and the support files for it are located under the
+directory <filename>/usr/share/samba/swat</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+We must now check where <command>swat</command> expects to find its support files. This can
+be done as follows:
+<screen>
+frodo:/ # strings /usr/sbin/swat | grep "/swat"
+/swat/
+...
+/usr/share/samba/swat
+frodo:/ #
+</screen>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <filename>/usr/share/samba/swat/</filename> entry shown in this listing is the location of the
+support files. You should verify that the support files exist under this directory. A sample
+list is as shown:
+<screen>
+jht@frodo:/> find /usr/share/samba/swat -print

+<command>xinetd</command>-based system.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The nature and location of the network super-daemon varies with the operating system

+Both of the previous examples assume that the <command>swat</command> binary has been
+located in the <filename>/usr/sbin</filename> directory. In addition to the above,
+SWAT will use a directory access point from which it will load its Help files

+in the Accept-Language header of the HTTP request.
+</para>

+<indexterm><primary>msg file</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>Japanese</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>French</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>English</primary></indexterm>
+The name of the <command>msg</command> file is the same as the language ID sent by the browser. For
+example, <emphasis>en</emphasis> means English, <emphasis>ja</emphasis> means Japanese, <emphasis>fr</emphasis> means French.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>locale</primary></indexterm>
+If you do not like some of messages, or there are no <command>msg</command> files for
+your locale, you can create them simply by copying the <command>en.msg</command> files
+to the directory for <quote>your language ID.msg</quote> and filling in proper strings
+to each <quote>msgstr</quote>. For example, in <filename>it.msg</filename>, the
+<command>msg</command> file for the Italian locale, just set:
+<screen>
+msgid "Set Default"
+msgstr "Imposta Default"
+</screen>
+<indexterm><primary>msg</primary></indexterm>
+and so on. If you find a mistake or create a new <command>msg</command> file, please email it
+to us so we will consider it in the next release of Samba. The <command>msg</command> file should be encoded in UTF-8.

+
+<para>
+The purpose of the SWAT Wizard is to help the Microsoft-knowledgeable network administrator
+to configure Samba with a minimum of effort.

+
+<para>
+The Wizard page provides a tool for rewriting the &smb.conf; file in fully optimized format.
+This will also happen if you press the <guibutton>Commit</guibutton> button. The two differ

+Finally, there are a limited set of options that determine what type of server Samba
+will be configured for, whether it will be a WINS server, participate as a WINS client, or

+The status page serves a limited purpose. First, it allows control of the Samba daemons.
+The key daemons that create the Samba server environment are &smbd;, &nmbd;, and &winbindd;.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The daemons may be controlled individually or as a total group. Additionally, you may set
+an automatic screen refresh timing. As MS Windows clients interact with Samba, new smbd processes
+are continually spawned. The auto-refresh facility allows you to track the changing
+conditions with minimal effort.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Finally, the status page may be used to terminate specific smbd client connections in order to
+free files that may be locked.

+<sect2>
+<title>The View Page</title>
+

+<title>The Password Change Page</title>
+
+<para>
+The password change page is a popular tool that allows the creation, deletion, deactivation,
+and reactivation of MS Windows networking users on the local machine. You can also use
+this tool to change a local password for a user account.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When logged in as a non-root account, the user must provide the old password as well as
+the new password (twice). When logged in as <emphasis>root</emphasis>, only the new password is
+required.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+One popular use for this tool is to change user passwords across a range of remote MS Windows
+servers.
