The SWAT utility is a GUI that comes with some Samba installations. Unfortunately it isn't activated by default.
- 1) SWAT activation is governed by the xinetd process. The SWAT specific xinetd configuration file is:
2) Edit this file and make sure that the "disable" field is set to "no" like this:
disable = no
3) Restart xinetd and you should be able to access SWAT on TCP port 901 via your browser to configure Samba once more.
Restarting xined: # /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
URL to configure SWAT: http://localhost:901
