-This is a brief description of how to install and use the Samba Web
-Administration Tool on your machine.
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-After you compile SWAT you need to run "make install" to install the
-swat binary and the various help files and images. A default install
-would put these in:
-
-/usr/local/samba/bin/swat
-/usr/local/samba/swat/images/*
-/usr/local/samba/swat/help/*
-
-Running via inetd
------------------
-
-You then need to edit your /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services to enable
-SWAT to be launched via inetd. 
-
-In /etc/services you need to add a line like this:
-
-swat            901/tcp
-
-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 inetd daemon).
-
-In /etc/inetd.conf you should add a line like this:
-
-swat    stream  tcp     nowait.400  root    /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat
-
-One you have edited /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf you need to send
-a HUP signal to inetd. On many systems "killall -1 inetd" will do this
-on others you will need to use "kill -1 PID" where PID is the process
-ID of the inetd daemon.
-
-
-
-Launching
----------
-
-To launch SWAT just run your favourite web browser and point it at
-http://localhost:901/ 
-
-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.
-
-You should be prompted for a username/password when you connect. You
-will need to provide the username "root" and the correct root
-password. 
-
-Running
--------
-
-Just follow your nose! If you can't work out how to use it then maybe
-you should use "vi smb.conf" instead.
-
-
-WARNINGS
---------
-
-SWAT will rewrite your smb.conf file. It will rearrange the entries
-and delete all comments, include= and copy= options. If you have a
-carefully crafted smb.conf then back it up or don't use SWAT!
-
-
-Development
------------
-
-Please join the samba-technical mailing list if you want to discuss
-the development of SWAT. Note that this list is for technical developer
-discussions and is not a general help list.
