Written by Paul Matthews   

S.W.A.T stands for Samba Web Administration Tool, it's basically a gui for samba.

Name: Samba
HomePage: http://www.samba.org/
Function: Samba is a suite of programs that enables interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows client

When ever I install fedora core for some reason i can't get SWAT working, so this is how i go it.

 

1. First step is to get YUM up and working, you do this by the following command.

rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY*

2. Once you have imported the right public KEY files into yum then you install swat via yum


yum install samba-swat

3. Once all that has been configured by YUM, then we need to edit the swat xinet configuration file

nano /etc/xinetd.d/swat

 

swat:
service swat
{

port = 901
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no

}

4. Restart the xinet service

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

5. Make sure swat is on

chkconfig swat on

6. Then access swat from http://machine-ip-address:901 with the root username & password
