SWAT authentication problem

I just installed Samba 2.0.3 on my Redat 5.2 system. When I point my
browser to http://localhost:901/, SWAT prompts me for the username and
password. I type in root, and then roots password, but the authorization
always fails. I have tried accessing from an outside machine (which I
would not normally do), I have tried changing roots password.I tried it
both with shadowed passwords, and non-shadowed passwords.

Here is my config.:

Redhat 5.2, with all of the updates (for pam, ftp, etc.)
192 MB RAM
Dual 200MHz CPUs
over 28 GB of storage
Netscape 4.08
Gnome 1.0

What is the problem? Am I doing something wrong?
