Hi all, My setup is: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS Samba/Swat 3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.8 I apply min password age both on Unix and Samba.

I just loaded Mandrake 7.1 and Samba with Webmin. I can get into Webmin and make changes to the Samba server, but I'm not able to get smbd or nmbd running. When I try to get into SWAT to make changes it keeps reverting back to my login which does not allow me to make changes. Is there a way to reset this? Also, any ideas on why smdb and smdb is not running? (go easy on me. I'm new to

Samba group members, Is the password that I specify when logging into SWAT handled securely? I'd like to use the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) to create and administer Samba "shares" that will be used by our users of ClearCase on Windows. That requires that I log in to the Samba host as "root". I access SWAT via Internet Explorer (from any machine) buy

Hi! I'm running a Samba server at a University Department. I'd like to let my users change their "Samba password" through SWAT. So i've done a few hacks in swat.c Nothing much, essentialy i've adapted the interface and removed the other stuff. I don't have password sync between Samba and the system, because i want to let my users have separate passwords. Well...

Dear samba-ers, I have installed SWAT so that my samba users can change their passwords easily and remotely as they do not have login access to the samba server. Broadly speaking my problem is that when registered as a user, it seems that swat cannot access the file /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb Version info: Linux platform: CentOS 6.5 Linux Kernel: 2.6.32-431 Samba: 3.6.9-167.el6_5

So John, are you the "SWAT guru" for Samba? I like the idea of having an expert for each area of Samba. Just a thought - if you are looking for further feedback regarding SWAT, you may want to post a message to the Samba forum on tek-tips website. (goto www.tek-tips.com and search for forum called "Andrew Tridgell : Samba") There are currently over 800 members of the

I got SWAT running on OS X 10.4 and when I go to localhost:901 I am asked for password. However neither root nor admin work (I enabled root). I get: The name or password entered for area ?SWAT? on localhost:901 was incorrect. Please try again. Thanks for help, Roman Budzianowski roman@budzianowski.net

I have been kind of fortunate in adjusting my SWAT information, and now can reach the SWAT3 interface through port 902 (thanks!), but now I have an even more interesting snag. Konqueror and Mozilla, when going to localhost:902 (what I set SWAT3 to respond to), will prompt a login box. The site is called "SWAT at localhost". I put in the root username, and the root password. It then

I'm a job trainee, very new to Linux and Samba and was asked to set up a server based on OpenSUSE and Samba. The idea is not to make a production server but to investigate how and how well this works (the company is Windows exclusive at the moment) I got as far as properly installing Linux and Samba 3 with the help of the guides on the OpenSUSE website. But there are a few things that still

Hi all, I'm having trouble with the help in SWAT... If I am using Netscape (4.76) for SWAT, everytime I click on 'Help' for one of the options, it opens the Main help file, and jumps all the way to the bottom, instead of jumping to the appropriate section. If I am using Mozilla (0.8), it opens at the top, then the 'Sending request to localhost' progress bar in the bottom
