RE: Samba SWAT issues...

Thanks, the SWAT GUI is now up.

I removed my erroneous entry from /etc/xinetd.conf, made the other changes
illustrated below, and accessed it from another machine on the LAN. Thanks
for the help and the security heads-ups.

(As a security related follow-up, I might try to restore the "only_from
= 127.0.0.1" line in /etc/xinetd.d/swat, ssh to the box, and then open the
http://localhost:901 via a remote X Windows session back on my workstation.)

Now to figure out how to authenticate via Active Directory... Saw a bunch of
threads on that to read up on.

Thanks,
