[Samba] SWAT not working

[Joel Hammer]

I don't understand passwords in samba or swat.

But, I get around the problem by starting swat with the -a option.
This is what I have in my inetd.conf file:

swat    stream  tcp     nowait.400 root    /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat -a

Expect cries of outrage over this suggestion, but it works fine on a home
network without particular security concerns.
