Re: Samba/SWAT

Hi Jan,

I'm not sure if it is same in Ubuntu as it is in openSUSE, but the
instructions there for using SWAT were to access it by using "
http://localhost:901 and log in as user root. If you do not have a special
Samba root account, use the system root account."

As a newbie, I have grabbed at anything that could help in setting up a
system and I ended up by finding a web-based administration tool called
Webmin (www.webmin.com) that cpvers Samba as well as many other server apps.

Hope that helps



Gary
