problems with SWAP

[Joel Hammer]

I do not know anything about security, but, if you add :
-a
to the swat command in inetd.conf, it will not ask for a password.
Here is mine:

swat    stream  tcp     nowait.400 root    /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat -a

This allows anyone to change your smb.conf file.
