I just went through upgrading from 2.0.7 on Redhat 7.0 using the binary RPM
provided by samba.org and noticed a problem with the swat install.

It seems that the swat binary in the RPM is built to look for it's
supporting files in /usr/share/samba/swat whereas the RPM installs said
files in /usr/share/swat.  This results in the following error message when
you try to access swat:

400 Server Error
chdir failed - the server is not configured correctly

The most expedient work around is to create the directory /usr/share/samba
and move /usr/share/swat there.
