From the swat man page: swat allows a Samba administrator to configure the complex smb.conf file via a Web browser. 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.

• Installing and running Samba is outside the scope of this document.
• How to actually use Swat is outside the scope of this document, but http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/SWAT.html#id2651818 is a good place to get started.

Installing Swat

1. sudo apt-get install swat
2. sudo nano /etc/xinetd.d/swat
3. Insert the following text (borrowed from http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/SWAT.html#xinetd):

#              to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
#              connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
service swat
{
        port    = 901
        socket_type     = stream
        wait    = no
        only_from = localhost
        user    = root
        server  = /usr/sbin/swat
        log_on_failure  += USERID

}

Questions

Q: my feisty system doesn't have /etc/xinetd.d/, now what? A: you will need to install a dependency beforehand: xinetd

sudo apt-get install xinetd
sudo update-inetd --enable 'swat'

then create the /etc/xinetd.d/swat as above, and now sudo dpkg-reconfigure xinetd to restart with the new configuration. kudos to fabioleitao for the answer, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=980625&postcount=8 Q: The swat help links do not work. How do I tell swat where to find the man pages?
