I would hope that using swat wouldn't remove shares that are already properly defined...that would be bad. isn't /var/spool/samba where they put tdb files? I think that is the intent though on RHEL 3, RHEL 4, FC-3, FC-4 they seem to put them in /var/cache/samba which seemed to be a Red Hat packaging issue and the topic of some consternation on the samba mail list. I would hope that Red Hat packaging would have adjusted to /var/spool/samba with the release of FC-5 by putting the tdb files there instead of /var/cache/samba. Craig
