There are a couple of final steps to perform. Specifically, add the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) to the
/etc/services and
/etc/inetd.conf configuration files. SWAT runs as a daemon under
inetd and provides a forms-based editor in your web browser for creating and modifying SMB configuration files.
-
To add SWAT, add the following line to the end of the
/etc/services file:
swat 901/tcp
-
Add these lines to
/etc/inetd.conf. (Check your
inetd.conf manual page to see the exact format of the
inetd.conf file if it differs from the following example.) Don't forget to change the path to the SWAT binary if you installed it in a different location from the default
/usr/local/samba.
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat
And that's pretty much it for the installation. Before you can start up Samba, however, you need to create a configuration file for it.
