[Samba] Can't get swat to accept root and its password

[Joel Hammer]

I do not know the answer to this question, but, you can prevent password
prompting by starting swat with the -a option. You can just run swat via
your browser, you don't need webmin.
Read man swat for details.
BTW, if you are new to both linux and samba, don't expect quick results.
