Folks, Forgive me if I have subscribed to the wrong samba list. I am new to both Linux and samba so my experience is limited. If I should be sending this to another list, please point me in the right direction. I am trying to use webmin to invoke swat on an experimental Mandrake 8.1 server. I know I have the correct root password but I cannot get swat to let me in. What would inhibit swat from letting me in? -Bill Bill Updegraff Computer Systems Administrator Alaska Bible College PO Box 289 Glennallen, AK 99588 bupdegraff@akbible.edu 907-822-3201 Ext. 228 907-822-5027(FAX) www.cvinternet.net/~wupdegraff
bill- i dont know webmin, but perhaps port 901 is blocked by ipchains or? also i believe default is that you should only be able to access it from localhost. i use 127.0.0.1:901 in gaelon on the local machine... -n On Tue, 23 Apr 2002, bupdegraff wrote:> Forgive me if I have subscribed to the wrong samba list.

I do not know the answer to this question, but, you can prevent password prompting by starting swat with the -a option. You can just run swat via your browser, you don't need webmin. Read man swat for details. BTW, if you are new to both linux and samba, don't expect quick results.
