+\fBswat\fR [\-s\ <smb\ config\ file>] [\-a] [\-P]

+
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+
+.PP
+This tool is part of the \fBsamba\fR(7) suite\&.
+
+.PP
+\fBswat\fR allows a Samba administrator to configure the complex \fBsmb\&.conf\fR(5) file via a Web browser\&. In addition, a \fBswat\fR configuration page has help links to all the configurable options in the \fIsmb\&.conf\fR file allowing an administrator to easily look up the effects of any change\&.
+
+.PP
+\fBswat\fR is run from \fBinetd\fR
+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+
+.TP
+\-s smb configuration file
+The default configuration file path is determined at compile time\&. The file specified contains the configuration details required by the \fBsmbd\fR(8) server\&. This is the file that \fBswat\fR will modify\&. The information in this file includes server\-specific information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide\&. See \fIsmb\&.conf\fR for more information\&.
+
+.TP
+\-a
+This option disables authentication and puts\fBswat\fR in demo mode\&. In that mode anyone will be able to modify the \fIsmb\&.conf\fR file\&.
+
+\fBWARNING: Do NOT enable this option on a production server\&. \fR
+
+.TP
+\-P
+This option restricts read\-only users to the password management page\&. \fBswat\fR can then be used to change user passwords without users seeing the "View" and "Status" menu buttons\&.
+
+.TP
+\-V
+Prints the program version number\&.
+
+.TP
+\-s <configuration file>
+The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server\&. The information in this file includes server\-specific information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide\&. See \fIsmb\&.conf\fR for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.
+
+.TP
+\-d|\-\-debuglevel=level
+\fIlevel\fR is an integer from 0 to 10\&. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero\&.
+
+The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the activities of the server\&. At level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged\&. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day\-to\-day running \- it generates a small amount of information about operations carried out\&.
+
+Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should only be used when investigating a problem\&. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic\&.
+
+Note that specifying this parameter here will override the parameter in the \fIsmb\&.conf\fR file\&.
+
+.TP
+\-l|\-\-logfile=logdirectory
+Base directory name for log/debug files\&. The extension \fB"\&.progname"\fR will be appended (e\&.g\&. log\&.smbclient, log\&.smbd, etc\&.\&.\&.)\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&.
+
+.TP
+\-h|\-\-help
+Print a summary of command line options\&.
+
+.SH "INSTALLATION"
+
+.PP
+Swat is included as binary package with most distributions\&. The package manager in this case takes care of the installation and configuration\&. This section is only for those who have compiled swat from scratch\&.
+
+.PP
+After you compile SWAT you need to run \fBmake install \fR to install the \fBswat\fR binary and the various help files and images\&. A default install would put these in:
+
+.TP 3
+\(bu
+/usr/local/samba/sbin/swat
+.TP
+\(bu
+/usr/local/samba/swat/images/*
+.TP
+\(bu
+/usr/local/samba/swat/help/*
+.LP
+
+.SS "Inetd Installation"
+
+.PP
+You need to edit your \fI/etc/inetd\&.conf \fR and \fI/etc/services\fR to enable SWAT to be launched via \fBinetd\fR\&.
+
+.PP
+In \fI/etc/services\fR you need to add a line like this:
+
+.PP
+\fBswat 901/tcp\fR
+
+.PP
+Note for NIS/YP and LDAP users \- you may need to rebuild the NIS service maps rather than alter your local \fI /etc/services\fR file\&.
+
+.PP
+the choice of port number isn't really important except that it should be less than 1024 and not currently used (using a number above 1024 presents an obscure security hole depending on the implementation details of your\fBinetd\fR daemon)\&.
+
+.PP
+In \fI/etc/inetd\&.conf\fR you should add a line like this:
+
+.PP
+\fBswat stream tcp nowait\&.400 root /usr/local/samba/sbin/swat swat\fR
+
+.PP
+Once you have edited \fI/etc/services\fR and \fI/etc/inetd\&.conf\fR you need to send a HUP signal to inetd\&. To do this use \fBkill \-1 PID \fR where PID is the process ID of the inetd daemon\&.
+
+.SH "LAUNCHING"
+
+.PP
+To launch SWAT just run your favorite web browser and point it at "http://localhost:901/"\&.
+
+.PP
+Note that you can attach to SWAT from any IP connected machine but connecting from a remote machine leaves your connection open to password sniffing as passwords will be sent in the clear over the wire\&.
+
+.SH "FILES"
+
+.TP
+\fI/etc/inetd\&.conf\fR
+This file must contain suitable startup information for the meta\-daemon\&.
+
+.TP
+\fI/etc/services\fR
+This file must contain a mapping of service name (e\&.g\&., swat) to service port (e\&.g\&., 901) and protocol type (e\&.g\&., tcp)\&.
+
+.TP
+\fI/usr/local/samba/lib/smb\&.conf\fR
+This is the default location of the \fBsmb\&.conf\fR(5) server configuration file that swat edits\&. Other common places that systems install this file are \fI /usr/samba/lib/smb\&.conf\fR and \fI/etc/smb\&.conf \fR\&. This file describes all the services the server is to make available to clients\&.
+
+.SH "WARNINGS"
+
+.PP
+\fBswat\fR will rewrite your \fBsmb\&.conf\fR(5) file\&. It will rearrange the entries and delete all comments, \fIinclude=\fR and \fIcopy= \fR options\&. If you have a carefully crafted \fI smb\&.conf\fR then back it up or don't use swat!
+
+.SH "VERSION"
+
+.PP
+This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.
+
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+
+.PP
+\fBinetd(5)\fR, \fBsmbd\fR(8), \fBsmb\&.conf\fR(5)
+
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+
+.PP
+The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
+
+.PP
+The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer\&. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2\&.2 was done by Gerald Carter\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
