Howdy folks, I am compiling 2.2.8 from source on a Caldera Openlinux 2.3 box to replace the 2.0.x version that is there. I do NOT want to use swat at all. How do I stop it from being compiled/installed? The only swat related configure switch I could find is where to put the swat stuff, but nothing to disable it period. TIA -- Harondel J.

So just make sure it is disabled. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht@samba.org

Ideally I don't want it just sitting there taking up space if I'm never going to use it and it's just one other application to be concerned about from a security pov. I typically remove unused stuff or just don't install it period. Or failing that, a make uninstallswat command or some such? -- Harondel J.

If it means that much to you, rm the sbin/swat binary, as well as the swat directory under your install prefix. That's pretty much all there is to SWAT.
