I've looked in /usr/local/samba/swat for help and even the samba source docs and can't find anything on setting up swat. I've also looked at samba.org/samba/docs, but can find a swat setup doc. Can some please point me in the right direction? thanks, daniel

machine account (NT Workstation type, not backup). Then you will need to run smbpasswd -j <nt domainname> -r <your NT domain controller netbios name> You will still require a username in the /etc/passwd or nis database for all of you NT users that you expect to access shares on the Unix box, but if there only access will be via samba, you won't need to administer any passwords

Hi all, I have just compiled and installed Samba 3.0rc2 on Solaris 9 8/03 using gcc 3.3. sh makepkg.sh almost crashed the Sun box, as I ran out of swap space in /tmp. I didn't realise that the binaries were going to be over 800mb. The box came back after about 5 minutes and I was able to add more swap space using mkfile and swap -a. I think a warning would be a good idea, otherwise perhaps

Hi there, I have a problem when I try to create a new user with swat. I use binaries of Samba 2.2.2 coming from www.samba.org, or from www.sunfreeware.com on Solaris 2.6 and on 8. I compiled the sources and the result is the same. When I click on "Add New User" (Server Password Management), I receive a nearly blank page: I can only see the samba gif on top and the user is not

Ok, I've managed to print to my HPDeskjet 694c attached to a Solaris 8 box running samba 2.2.2 from Win98. Problem is with the left margin, there are these little lines (garbage) running down the 1st column on the left side of the page. Also, when I print a page from Word 97, the whole page doesn't print (about 95% of it) and starts a little too far down the page. Printing was perfect

I've done a search of the samba mailing list archives to see if my problem has already been addressed, but I have been unable to find anything that refers to the same error I'm receiving.

Last night, I made several changes to the smb.conf file that were not picked up by the running Samba processes, so I requested an smbd restart via the SWAT web admin tool. As I was waiting for

Hello, I've recently put Samba into production, and while I do love it, I am having a problem I can not figure out. It comes when a regular user tries to change their password. I have dug through the FAQ's I could find, and also looked through a few trouble shooting sections. Everything they suggest checks out. The server as a whole works great. If I log in as root and change a users
