In addition, +a \fBswat\fR configuration page has help links +to all the configurable options in the \fIsmb.conf\fR file allowing an +administrator to easily look up the effects of any change. +.PP +\fBswat\fR is run from \fBinetd\fR +.SH "OPTIONS" +.TP +\fB-s smb configuration file\fR +The default configuration file path is +determined at compile time. The file specified contains +the configuration details required by the \fBsmbd +\fRserver. This is the file that \fBswat\fR will modify. +The information in this file includes server-specific +information such as what printcap file to use, as well as +descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide. +See \fIsmb.conf\fR for more information. +.TP +\fB-a\fR +This option disables authentication and puts +\fBswat\fR in demo mode. In that mode anyone will be able to modify +the \fIsmb.conf\fR file. + +\fBDo NOT enable this option on a production +server. \fR +.SH "INSTALLATION" +.PP +After you compile SWAT you need to run \fBmake install +\fRto install the \fBswat\fR binary +and the various help files and images. A default install would put +these in: +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +/usr/local/samba/bin/swat +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +/usr/local/samba/swat/images/* +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +/usr/local/samba/swat/help/* +.SS "INETD INSTALLATION" +.PP +You need to edit your \fI/etc/inetd.conf +\fRand \fI/etc/services\fR +to enable SWAT to be launched via \fBinetd\fR. +.PP +In \fI/etc/services\fR you need to +add a line like this: +.PP +\fBswat 901/tcp\fR +.PP +Note for NIS/YP users - you may need to rebuild the +NIS service maps rather than alter your local \fI /etc/services\fR file. +.PP +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 +\fBinetd\fR daemon). +.PP +In \fI/etc/inetd.conf\fR you should +add a line like this: +.PP +\fBswat stream tcp nowait.400 root +/usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat\fR +.PP +One you have edited \fI/etc/services\fR +and \fI/etc/inetd.conf\fR you need to send a +HUP signal to inetd. To do this use \fBkill -1 PID +\fRwhere PID is the process ID of the inetd daemon. +.SS "LAUNCHING" +.PP +To launch SWAT just run your favorite web browser and +point it at "http://localhost:901/". +.PP +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. +.SH "FILES" +.TP +\fB\fI/etc/inetd.conf\fB\fR +This file must contain suitable startup +information for the meta-daemon. +.TP +\fB\fI/etc/services\fB\fR +This file must contain a mapping of service name +(e.g., swat) to service port (e.g., 901) and protocol type +(e.g., tcp). +.TP +\fB\fI/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf\fB\fR +This is the default location of the \fIsmb.conf(5) +\fRserver configuration file that swat edits. Other +common places that systems install this file are \fI /usr/samba/lib/smb.conf\fR and \fI/etc/smb.conf +\fR\&. This file describes all the services the server +is to make available to clients. +.SH "WARNINGS" +.PP +\fBswat\fR will rewrite your \fIsmb.conf +\fRfile. It will rearrange the entries and delete all +comments, \fIinclude=\fR and \fIcopy=" +\fRoptions. If you have a carefully crafted \fI smb.conf\fR then back it up or don't use swat! +.SH "VERSION" +.PP +This man page is correct for version 2.2 of +the Samba suite. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\fBinetd(5)\fR, +\fBsmbd(8)\fR, +smb.conf(5) +.SH "AUTHOR" +.PP +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. +.PP +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 +ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0 +release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for +Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter |
