This would indicate that something in SWAT is doing a translation.
Mozilla is definitely broken in this regard. I have not tried
Netscape or Mosaic. (Yes, a current port of Mosaic seems to be in progress
by some group)
Still a solution that allows reading on standard browsers would be
desirable, so that a local copy can be referenced.
I just noticed that some of SWAT documentation in SAMBA_ROOT: installed
on one of my systems is set to world no access.
