[Samba] SWAT error - returns an empty page

[Marian Mlcoch, Ing]

Hi
why yuo use swat only on your system first must be samba server installed
and configured.
Best choice to install is download last full samba rpm binary package from
samba ftp redhat directory.
Swat is only manager to samba service and config not needed to http
production server.

Bye.
