similar to: installing Samba without SWAT

Just tried the latest cvs samba_2_2 (trying to avoid the winbind memory leak thing). It configured, compiled and installed fine, but when it came up there was an issue. When my Windows users (Win98 ad Win2K) went into explorer, they could see no names on the folders in samba shares, just blank folders. I quickly put it back to the older 2.2.2 configuration and everyone is back to normal. Was

I'm trying to connect to swat but can't. Just installed Samba 2.2.2-5 and edited /etc/services, even though I'm running Redhat 7.3 and use xinetd. /etc/xinetd/swat exists.... but I still cannot connect to http://localhost:901. Why??? Thanks for assist.

Exiting... I have no idea what is going on, Im doing

That's pretty much the question. I've got Symantec NAVCE running on my NT server protecting itself, the Windows clients and the Exchange server, but what do i do about my Linux based Samba server? Will a linux based AV app search for Win32 based viruses? Thanks, VeKTeReX

Is there any way to run swat from the command line instead of starting it from inetd? I'm trying to add some features (mostly, I want to make a backup of the smb.conf file before commiting a new one) and I want to run swat from inside of gdb. Is there a way to start swat in the foreground and have it listen on port 901? Thanks in advance, George Cebulka Senior System

Hi all, Afraid this is a real newbie question and I'm totally stuck. I've installed Samba and then Swat from the RPMS on my Red Hat 7.2 distribution. Everything seems to have install correctly except that when I try to run Swat I get the message that access has been denied on 127.0.0.1 port 901. Is there something that I'm missing here, or does anyone have any suggestions please?

Hello to all, I am trying to setup samba 2.2.2 with winbind and i have gone through all the documentation that i could find in regards to this. Everything has been going smoothly up until now. The html docs for setting up winbind states that i should copy "pam_winbind.so" from the /samba/source/nsswitch/ to /lib/security/, simple enough but i do not have "pam_winbind.so" in

I have been (unsuccessfully) trying to get this up and running for the past few days. I have successfully setup samba itself NUMEROUS times but this winbind stuff has me stumped. I have built a fresh box for this server using Turbo Linux server 6.5 and samba 2.2.2. I have followed all the docs and man pages that i could find. 1. I have samba compiled (using --with-winbind --with-pam) and

I am trying to install SWAT for Samba on CentOS 7 using "yum install", But failed to find it. Could you help? Regards, Kevin SZ

I have had a RH5.2 server running Samba up for a long time. I upgraded to Mandrake 6.0. It broke Samba, so I reinstalled using the RPM on the CD. Samba works just fine, but SWAT will not! If I try to start it manually (/usr/sbin/swat) it just hangs. In /etc/services I have a line like this: swat 901/tcp In /etc/inetd.conf I have: swat stream tcp nowait.400 root

Hey guys, I've been using samba for quite some time now (over a year). I have a problem however, and that is that I can not seem to get SWAT to work properly. I need to have SWAT working for some of the management cluebies around here (bad idea if you ask me). Anyways, everything for SWAT is fully installed, and it appears that it works properly. Theres just one problem. You can't save

Since I've upgraded to Redhat 7.2 I cannot get swat to work, I am using the 2.4.7-10 kernal with samba 2.2.7 installed. I have checked all the applicable files, edited them accordingly as per Gary Fournerat's excellent How-to. No joy. I am pretty certain this is an xinetd issue. I never had this difficulty with inetd. I know that SAMBA is running as I can see the server from this

Howdy folks, I am compiling 2.2.8 from source on a Caldera Openlinux 2.3 box to replace the 2.0.x version that is there. I do NOT want to use swat at all. How do I stop it from being compiled/installed? The only swat related configure switch I could find is where to put the swat stuff, but nothing to disable it period. TIA -- Harondel J.

I was playing with this on my test machine, (redhat 5.2, samba 2.0.3) worked great, and I was really impressed. So I decided to install this on my office machine. (redhat 4.2, samba 2.0.3) and the only significant difference is that on the office machine, I use encrypted passwords. I cannot get swat to authenticate on the second machine. That is, no matter what account, password combination

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

Hi, I have one user who should be able to _view_ all open files and connections on a samba server. He should not be allowed to login to the server by telnet or ssh to use smbstatus, nore should he be able to use swat as long as he could view the configfile. So my question: is there a way to configure swat for one user to only view the opened connections? Or dose someone has an other idea?

Hi, Samba world: It is my first time to use samba to share a folder from a solaris 7 to our windows 2000 clients. After I have the following, I could not see the unix share point.

When I run ./run I get the following errors: jenfab at
