package manager in this case takes care of the installation and
configuration. This section is only for those who have compiled
swat from scratch.
</p><p>After you compile SWAT you need to run <b class="command">make install
</b> to install the <b class="command">swat</b> binary
and the various help files and images. A default install would put
these in: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>/usr/local/samba/bin/swat</p></li><li><p>/usr/local/samba/swat/images/*</p></li><li><p>/usr/local/samba/swat/help/*</p></li></ul></div><div class="refsect2" lang="en"><h3>Inetd Installation</h3><p>You need to edit your <tt class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf
</tt> and <tt class="filename">/etc/services</tt>
to enable SWAT to be launched via <b class="command">inetd</b>.</p><p>In <tt class="filename">/etc/services</tt> you need to
add a line like this: </p><p><b class="command">swat 901/tcp</b></p><p>Note for NIS/YP and LDAP users - you may need to rebuild the
NIS service maps rather than alter your local <tt class="filename">
/etc/services</tt> file. </p><p>the choice of port number isn't really important
except that it should be less than 1024 and not currently
used (using a number above 1024 presents an obscure security
hole depending on the implementation details of your
<b class="command">inetd</b> daemon). </p><p>In <tt class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf</tt> you should
add a line like this: </p><p><b class="command">swat stream tcp nowait.400 root
/usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat</b></p><p>One you have edited <tt class="filename">/etc/services</tt>
and <tt class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf</tt> you need to send a
HUP signal to inetd. To do this use <b class="command">kill -1 PID
</b> where PID is the process ID of the inetd daemon. </p></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>LAUNCHING</h2><p>To launch SWAT just run your favorite web browser and
point it at "http://localhost:901/".</p><p>Note that you can attach to SWAT from any IP connected
machine but connecting from a remote machine leaves your
connection open to password sniffing as passwords will be sent
in the clear over the wire. </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>FILES</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><tt class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf</tt></span></dt><dd><p>This file must contain suitable startup
information for the meta-daemon.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="filename">/etc/services</tt></span></dt><dd><p>This file must contain a mapping of service name

Other
common places that systems install this file are <tt class="filename">
/usr/samba/lib/smb.conf</tt> and <tt class="filename">/etc/smb.conf
</tt>. This file describes all the services the server
is to make available to clients. </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>WARNINGS</h2><p><b class="command">swat</b> will rewrite your <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smb.conf</span>(5)</span></a> file. It will rearrange the entries and delete all
comments, <i class="parameter"><tt>include=</tt></i> and <i class="parameter"><tt>copy=
</tt></i> options. If you have a carefully crafted <tt class="filename">
smb.conf</tt> then back it up or don't use swat! </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>SEE ALSO</h2><p><b class="command">inetd(5)</b>, <a href="smbd.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbd</span>(8)</span></a>, <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smb.conf</span>(5)</span></a></p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar

The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
excellent piece of Open Source software, available at <a href="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/" target="_top">
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</a>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for
Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</p></div></div></body></html>
