Replace <replaceable>localhost</replaceable> with the name of the computer you are running samba on if you - are running samba on a different computer than your browser.</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> - </sect2> -</sect1> - -<sect1> - <title>Try listing the shares available on your - server</title> - - <para><prompt>$ </prompt><userinput>smbclient -L - <replaceable>yourhostname</replaceable></userinput></para> - - <para>You should get back a list of shares available on - your server.
