How to install SWAT (Samba Web Administration Tool) in 12.04
2 Answers
In a terminal write:
sudo apt-get install samba smbfs samba-doc swat xinetd
Enable service SWAT in /etc/xinetd.conf and restart with the new configuration by the following:
sudo update-inetd --enable 'swat'
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xinetd
Create new configuration file /etc/xinetd.d/swat:
sudo cat > /etc/xinetd.d/swat <<-EOF
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
EOF
Change the permissions smb.conf to group administrator (adm).
use chmod
and chgrp
tools to change the file access permissions and group permissions respectively:
sudo chmod g+w /etc/samba/smb.conf
sudo chgrp adm /etc/samba/smb.conf
Restart service xinetd with following command:
sudo service xinetd restart
open your web browser and access http://samba_server:[port]. default port: 901
If successful, you will be presented with a dialog box asking for username and password.
Use the username and a password from the admin group to log in, and you’ll have access to SWAT.
