- package manager in this case takes care of the installation and
- configuration. This section is only for those who have compiled
- swat from scratch.
- </p><p>After you compile SWAT you need to run <b class="command">make install
- </b> to install the <b class="command">swat</b> binary
- and the various help files and images. A default install would put
- these in: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>/usr/local/samba/bin/swat</p></li><li><p>/usr/local/samba/swat/images/*</p></li><li><p>/usr/local/samba/swat/help/*</p></li></ul></div><div class="refsect2" lang="en"><h3>Inetd Installation</h3><p>You need to edit your <tt class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf
- </tt> and <tt class="filename">/etc/services</tt>
- to enable SWAT to be launched via <b class="command">inetd</b>.</p><p>In <tt class="filename">/etc/services</tt> you need to
- add a line like this: </p><p><b class="command">swat 901/tcp</b></p><p>Note for NIS/YP and LDAP users - you may need to rebuild the
- NIS service maps rather than alter your local <tt class="filename">
- /etc/services</tt> file. </p><p>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
- <b class="command">inetd</b> daemon). </p><p>In <tt class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf</tt> you should
- add a line like this: </p><p><b class="command">swat stream tcp nowait.400 root
- /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat</b></p><p>One you have edited <tt class="filename">/etc/services</tt>
- and <tt class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf</tt> you need to send a
- HUP signal to inetd. To do this use <b class="command">kill -1 PID
- </b> where PID is the process ID of the inetd daemon. </p></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>LAUNCHING</h2><p>To launch SWAT just run your favorite web browser and
- point it at "http://localhost:901/".</p><p>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. </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>FILES</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><tt class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf</tt></span></dt><dd><p>This file must contain suitable startup

It will rearrange the entries and delete all

- </tt></i> options. If you have a carefully crafted <tt class="filename">
- smb.conf</tt> then back it up or don't use swat! </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>SEE ALSO</h2><p><b class="command">inetd(5)</b>, <a href="smbd.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbd</span>(8)</span></a>, <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smb.conf</span>(5)</span></a></p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities

- 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

- Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for
- Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</p></div></div></body></html>
