SWAT your SAMBA problemsAs some of you know SWAT is a utility that helps you with samba and its configuration. Its built into samba and basically helps you admin your files over the web.
SWAT works by rewriting the configuration files at /etc/samba/smb.conf and restarting Samba as needed. Note, however, that when it rewrites the file, it wipes away all comments, so if you're the kind of sysadmin who likes to include documentation within configuration files, you'll have a reason to hate SWAT. Unsupported parameters are deleted, parameters that have the default value are ignored, and SWAT changes the order of the parameters, so your carefully handcrafted configuration file may look rather bleak after SWAT is done with it.
Could be useful to some people who like to remote admin there fileserver's, and this is a nice little article on its features although it is lacking in content on how to configure SWAT.
