Hi all.... When you want to edit the smb.conf via swat....do you have to login as root...? I'm asking because I get kinda of nervous when I have to enter the root password through a web browser.......(not the browser on the server itself) maybe I'll just edit the file manually? What do you guys do in this case? Thanks Mike -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

I have a virtual host directive in my httpd.conf, with "ProxyPass / http://127.0.0:901/" in it. Swat is set up with tcp wrappers refusing connections from anywhere other than localhost. Mike.
