Rename manpages to manpages-3 so I can pull in the Samba 4 manpages later

+ <title>INSTALLATION</title>
+
+ <para>Swat is included as binary package with most distributions. The
+ package manager in this case takes care of the installation and
+ configuration. This section is only for those who have compiled
+ swat from scratch.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>After you compile SWAT you need to run <command>make install
+ </command> to install the <command>swat</command> binary
+ and the various help files and images. A default install would put
+ these in: </para>

+ <title>Inetd Installation</title>
+
+ <para>You need to edit your <filename>/etc/inetd.conf
+ </filename> and <filename>/etc/services</filename>
+ to enable SWAT to be launched via <command>inetd</command>.</para>
+
+ <para>In <filename>/etc/services</filename> you need to
+ add a line like this: </para>
+
+ <para><command>swat 901/tcp</command></para>
+
+ <para>Note for NIS/YP and LDAP users - you may need to rebuild the
+ NIS service maps rather than alter your local <filename>
+ /etc/services</filename> file. </para>
+
+ <para>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
+ <command>inetd</command> daemon). </para>
+
+ <para>In <filename>/etc/inetd.conf</filename> you should
+ add a line like this: </para>
+
+ <para><command>swat stream tcp nowait.400 root
+ /usr/local/samba/sbin/swat swat</command></para>
+
+ <para>Once you have edited <filename>/etc/services</filename>
+ and <filename>/etc/inetd.conf</filename> you need to send a
+ HUP signal to inetd. To do this use <command>kill -1 PID
+ </command> where PID is the process ID of the inetd daemon. </para>
+
+ </refsect2>

+ <title>LAUNCHING</title>
+
+ <para>To launch SWAT just run your favorite web browser and
+ point it at "http://localhost:901/".</para>
+
+ <para>Note that you can attach to SWAT 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. </para>

+ <title>AUTHOR</title>
+
+ <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
+ were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
+ by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
+ to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
+
+ <para>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
+ The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
+ excellent piece of Open Source software, available at <ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
+ ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
+ release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
+ Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for
+ Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</para>
