Note that <strong>swat</strong> can also +be launched via the cgi-bin mechanisms of a web server (such as +apache) and that is described below in the section <a href="swat.8.html#RUNNINGVIACGIBIN"><strong>RUNNING VIA +CGI-BIN</strong></a>. +<p><br>In <code>/etc/services</code> you need to add a line like this: +<p><br><code>swat 901/tcp</code> +<p><br>Note for NIS/YP users - you may need to rebuild the NIS service maps +rather than alter your local <code>/etc/services</code> file. +<p><br>the choice of port number isn't really important except that it should +be less than 1024 and not currently used (using a number above 1024 +presents an obscure security hole depending on the implementation +details of your <strong>inetd</strong> daemon). +<p><br>In <code>/etc/inetd.conf</code> you should add a line like this: +<p><br><code>swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat</code> +<p><br>If you just want to see a demo of how swat works and don't want to be +able to actually change any Samba config via swat then you may chose +to change <code>"root"</code> to some other user that does not have permission +to write to <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a>. +<p><br>One you have edited <code>/etc/services</code> and <code>/etc/inetd.conf</code> you need +to send a HUP signal to inetd.

Note that you +should run <strong>swat</strong> either via <a href="swat.8.html#RUNNINGVIAINETD"><strong>inetd</strong></a> or via +cgi-bin but not both. +<p><br>Then you need to create a <code>swat/</code> directory in your web servers root +directory and copy the <code>images/*</code> and <code>help/*</code> files found in the +<code>swat/</code> directory of your Samba source distribution into there so +that they are visible via the URL <code>http://your.web.server/swat/</code> +<p><br>Next you need to make sure you modify your web servers authentication +to require a username/pssword for the URL +<code>http://your.web.server/cgi-bin/swat</code>. <em>**Don't forget this +step!**</em> If you do forget it then you will be allowing anyone to edit +your Samba configuration which would allow them to easily gain root +access on your machine. +<p><br>After testing the authentication you need to change the ownership and +permissions on the <strong>swat</strong> binary. It should be owned by root wth the +setuid bit set. It should be ONLY executable by the user that the web +server runs as. Make sure you do this carefully! +<p><br>for example, the following would be correct if the web server ran as +group <code>"nobody"</code>. +<p><br><code>-rws--x--- 1 root nobody </code> +<p><br>You must also realise that this means that any user who can run +programs as the <code>"nobody"</code> group can run <strong>swat</strong> and modify your +Samba config. Be sure to think about this! +<p><br><a name="LAUNCHING"></a> +<h2>LAUNCHING</h2> + +<p><br>To launch <strong>swat</strong> just run your favourite web browser and point it at +<code>http://localhost:901/</code> or <code>http://localhost/cgi-bin/swat/</code> +depending on how you installed it. +<p><br>Note that you can attach to <strong>swat</strong> from any IP connected machine but +connecting from a remote machine leaves your connection open to +password sniffing as passwords will be sent in the clear over the +wire. +<p><br>If installed via <strong>inetd</strong> then you should be prompted for a +username/password when you connect. You will need to provide the +username <code>"root"</code> and the correct root password. More sophisticated +authentication options are planned for future versions of <strong>swat</strong>. +<p><br>If installed via cgi-bin then you should receive whatever +authentication request you configured in your web server. +<p><br><h2>FILES</h2> + +<p><br><strong>/etc/inetd.conf</strong> +<p><br>If the server is to be run by the inetd meta-daemon, this file must +contain suitable startup information for the meta-daemon.
