help samba

[Anthony J. Gabrielson]

Hello,
	Check /etc/inetd.conf - look for SWAT.  If SWAT is there and not
commented out hit your Linux box with a web browser on port 901(log in as 
root). If it is commented out, uncomment it and restart inetd.  SWAT is
the easiest way to configure samba.  If I had one guess as to what your
missing, I would probably say your passwds are clear text, switch to
encrypted (through swat) and add a your user (through swat).  Samba, when
using encrypted passwds, can not use the normal passwd file - it must
generate its own.

Hope that helps,
Anthony
