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

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

# default: off
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
#              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
disable = no
}

• 1. 4 Exit and Save

Running Swat

• sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
• Point your browser to http://localhost:901/
• Enter the username and password of a user with proper privileges

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.
