samba - Dec 2003 - disabling user access to SWAT

Hi,

is there any option to disable the user access to SWAT for anyone else than
root?

Currently, every user can log on and view the system configuration. I would
only like to let root logon.

Thanks
Florian

I am rusty on this, but, if swat is started with -a, authentication is
disabled. Look in inetd.conf or xinetd? and see how swat is called.

Hi Joel,

swat is called without -a here.

The SWAT man pages (http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/swat.8.html)
says not to use the -a option on a production server (which disables
authentication).
