samba - May 2000 - Is this list still active?

I haven't seen traffic here in eons..

Could someone help me with SWAT? Based on the permissions given when
connecting to SWAT, and by the passwords screen, it *looks* like one can
give someone (other than root) access to modify samba shares through SWAT.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this? SWAT's documentation is very
poor....

Regards,
Will

The last time i checked, control over modifying shares was
simply controlled by the UNIX permission bits on the smb.conf 
file.  Try making it group writeable if you wish.  However,
account management is reserved for root.
