BUG IN SWAT !!

[werner maes]

But why does it sometimes work when you do "commit changes".
For example, when you change invalid users from empty to @class and
do "commit changes", you don't have to restart samba. But when you erase
this value, you need to restart samba.
That's not very logic in my opinion.
