[Samba] RE: SWAT not working, can't authenticate
Did you make sure localhost resolves? Also, depending on your /etc/resolv.conf, you may have to fully qualify the host's name including the DNS domain. I seem to rember having problems with this, and some combination of using localhost or hostname.domain.edu or using the actual IP address of the host cleared up the problem.

I have /etc/xinetd.d/swat defined properly (I think) and port 901 is active and starts SWAT OK. When I try to log in to SWAT either locally or from remote browser, the authentication fails. I'm logging in as user=root with the correct password, but the authentication still fails. Is there some special password file that SWAT uses?
