In addition, + a swat configuration page has help links + to all the configurable options in the smb.conf file allowing an + administrator to easily look up the effects of any change. + + swat is run from inetd + + + + + OPTIONS + + + + -s smb configuration file + The default configuration file path is + determined at compile time. The file specified contains + the configuration details required by the smbd + 8 server. This is the file + that swat 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 smb.conf for more information. + + + + + + -a + This option disables authentication and + places swat in demo mode. In that mode anyone will be able to modify + the smb.conf file. + + WARNING: Do NOT enable this option on a production + server. + + + + -P + This option restricts read-only users to the password + management page. swat can then be used to change + user passwords without users seeing the "View" and "Status" menu + buttons. + + + &stdarg.server.debug; + &popt.common.samba; + &stdarg.help; + + + + + + + + INSTALLATION + + 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. + + + After you compile SWAT you need to run make install + to install the swat binary + and the various help files and images. A default install would put + these in: + + + /usr/local/samba/sbin/swat + /usr/local/samba/swat/images/* + /usr/local/samba/swat/help/* + + + + Inetd Installation + + You need to edit your /etc/inetd.conf + and /etc/services + to enable SWAT to be launched via inetd. + + In /etc/services you need to + add a line like this: + + swat 901/tcp + + Note for NIS/YP and LDAP users - you may need to rebuild the + NIS service maps rather than alter your local + /etc/services file. + + 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 + inetd daemon). + + In /etc/inetd.conf you should + add a line like this: + + swat stream tcp nowait.400 root + /usr/local/samba/sbin/swat swat + + Once you have edited /etc/services + and /etc/inetd.conf you need to send a + HUP signal to inetd. To do this use kill -1 PID + where PID is the process ID of the inetd daemon. + + + + + + + + + LAUNCHING + + To launch SWAT just run your favorite web browser and + point it at "http://localhost:901/". + + 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. + + + + FILES + + + + /etc/inetd.conf + This file must contain suitable startup + information for the meta-daemon. + + + + /etc/services + This file must contain a mapping of service name + (e.g., swat) to service port (e.g., 901) and protocol type + (e.g., tcp). + + + + /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf + This is the default location of the + smb.conf5 + server configuration file that swat edits. Other + common places that systems install this file are + /usr/samba/lib/smb.conf and /etc/smb.conf + . This file describes all the services the server + is to make available to clients. + + + + + + + WARNINGS + + swat will rewrite your + smb.conf5 + file. It will rearrange the entries and delete all + comments, include= and copy= + options. If you have a carefully crafted + smb.conf then back it up or don't use swat! + + + + + VERSION + + This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite. + + + + SEE ALSO + inetd(5), + smbd8 + , smb.conf + 5 + + + + AUTHOR + + 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. + + 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/) 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. + + + -- cgit
