Users other then root using swat to configure?
Hello, I'm wondering if there's any easy way to enable a regular user to log into swat and have swat grant them root privelages, so they can use it to configure samba without having root access... Please shoot me an email at choranburg@iss.net if you have any ideas, Thanks, Chadd ********************************************************* Chadd M.

However - any user who can edit smb.conf is only one 'root preexec' away from being root anyway, so it might not be a wise idea.
