samba - Nov 2000 - SWAT authentication probs..

Help!

I've just installed samba Samba 2.2.0alpha0 on my redhat Linix 6.2 system.

I am having problems with swat.  When I try and access it via a browser from
another system

http://192.168.132.254:901  I get a window up asking for username and
password... However whatever username/password I use ( I am using the
correct password!!) I get bounced... I have set up the services and
inetd.conf ok I am sure, well as far as SWAT is concerned, I've tried adding
the -a option to allow any login to SWAT to have root privs.

Is there some LINUX security thing going on here? I am familiar with Solaris
and HP/UX new to LINUX...

Any help appreciated...

Is there an option to disable *write-caches* (if something like this is
available with SAMBA - I am no expert - but any experts should be watching
this list, too?) or to disable other features that may disturb concurrent
file access.

We have the problem that one DOS application running on Windows clients
corrupts one shared file under pretty predictable circumstances but not
immediately.

We are using Kernel 2.2.14 and Samba 2.0.6 (the compiled one comming along
with SuSE 6.4). I'm attaching our smb.conf - maybe any expert has a look on
and says - ahhh! we had this before..

So, any help is higly appreciated, here

best regards
