On the permissions, that is a good question.

The folder I'm sharing is my own and I'm using the same username. I selected
it from the list in Webmin.

I have Browseable=yes, hosts to allow=all, possible users=kai, read/write
users=kai, guest access=yes.



I think one needs to get back to basics....

a) Can you browse the workgroup? i.e can you see all the machines in the
workgroup, from all of the machines which are supposed to be in the
workgroup?

b) ditto with shares

Once you have established this is working correctly, then is the time to
try working with the url based access.

MS workgroup networking depends on each machine maintaining a list of
resources on the network, this can go seriously out of whack and you
will get problems when it happens. Unfortunately, on the windows side
the problem is not always easy to fix. It might be worth looking in the
logs for browser issues if browsing is not producing the expected results.

BTW SWAT does have control of the local samba server functions and will
shutdown and restart the samba server, and includes access to extensive
documentation and information on server status.

Use...

http://localhost:901/

to access SWAT. (Usually the root username and password will be required).
