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 + 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 puts + swat in demo mode. In that mode anyone will be able to modify + the smb.conf file. + + Do NOT enable this option on a production + server. + + + + +Installation + +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: + + + +

+
+ + + + +Inetd Installation + +You need to edit your CW/etc/inetd.conf and CW/etc/services +to enable SWAT to be launched via inetd. + +In CW/etc/services you need to +add a line like this: + +CWswat 901/tcp + +Note for NIS/YP users - +you may need to rebuild the NIS service maps rather than alter your local +CW/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 CW/etc/inetd.conf you should add a line +like this: + +CWswat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat +swat + +One you have edited CW/etc/services and CW/etc/inetd.conf you need +to send a HUP signal to inetd. To do this use CW"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 CWhttp://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.conf 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. See smb.conf (5) for more information. + + + + + WANRNIGS + + swat will rewrite your smb.conf + 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 2.2 of + the Samba suite. + + + + SEE ALSO + inetd(5), + smbd(8), + 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 + + + -- cgit
