<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This tool is part of the <ulink url="samba.7.html">
Samba</ulink> suite.</para>
<para><command>swat</command> allows a Samba administrator to
configure the complex <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html"><filename>
smb.conf(5)</filename></ulink> file via a Web browser. In addition,
a <command>swat</command> 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. </para>
<para>swat is run from inetd </para>

<listitem><para>The default configuration file path is

The information in this file includes server-specific

descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide.
See <filename>smb.conf</filename> for more information.

<RefSect1><title>Inetd Installation</title>
<para>You need to edit your CW/etc/inetd.conf and CW/etc/services
to enable SWAT to be launched via inetd.
<para>In CW/etc/services you need to
add a line like this:
<para>CWswat 901/tcp
<para>Note for NIS/YP users -
you may need to rebuild the NIS service maps rather than alter your local
CW/etc/services file.
<para>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).
<para>In CW/etc/inetd.conf you should add a line
like this:
<para>CWswat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat
swat
<para>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.
<para></RefSect1>
<RefSect1><title>Launching</title>
<para>To launch swat just run your
favorite web browser and point it at CW<Command>http://localhost:901/.</Command>
<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></RefSect1>
<RefSect1><title>Files</title>
<para>/etc/inetd.conf
<para>This file must
contain suitable startup information for the meta-daemon.
<para>/etc/services
<para>This file must contain a mapping of service name (e.g., swat) to service
port (e.g., 901) and protocol type (e.g., tcp).
<para>/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
<para>This is the default location of the <I>smb.conf</I> server configuration file that
swat edits. Other common places that systems install this file are <I>/usr/samba/lib/smb.conf</I>
and <I>/etc/smb.conf</I>.
<para>This file describes all the services the server is to
make available to clients. See <Command>smb.conf (5)</Command> for more information.
<para></RefSect1>
<refsect1>
<title>WANRNIGS</title>
<para><command>swat</command> will rewrite your <filename>smb.conf
</filename> file. It will rearrange the entries and delete all
comments, <parameter>include=</parameter> and <parameter>copy="
</parameter> options. If you have a carefully crafted <filename>
smb.conf</filanem> then back it up or don't use swat! </para>

<title>VERSION</title>
<para>This man page is correct for version 2.2 of
the Samba suite.</para>

<title>AUTHOR</title>
<para>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.</para>
<para>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
<ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</para>
