I would like my terminals computer be allowed to change their passwords using Swat web page, but i would not like they could see configuration, smb file, status or any other infromation about the net. How can i grant access to they could use Swat? when i try to conect with a local samba or linux user diferent than root it says Permision Denied at my browser. How can i filter information sent to them so they only could change their passwords? Does Swat work fine to do this? any other idea to allow them to chage their passwords? Regards guanche
Dear Jorge Videgain Marquez,
The easiest way to have users change their passwords is to:
a) Login to the Linux/Unix box via TELNET.
b) Have the user use smbpasswd to change their password.
This is the simplest method. SWAT is usually reserved for configuring samba
and not user management.
Thanks,
James Kosin

I have all my users using the swat interface which is simpler for most PC users than having to login to a UNIX/LINUX machine. Since they login to swat as themselves, there is very little they can do to the system.

Have you found a way to hide information about Status and Configuration of samba, to users at Swat pages? What is the diferece between Server Password Management and Client Server Password Management? What means Remote Machine box at Client Server Password Management section? regards guanche El Mar 11 Feb 2003 22:35, Michael G.
