[Samba] SWAT on slackware 8

[John at Dyatron]

When I recompile and install samba
then try to run swat , i get to the user/ password screen , enter root and
password , and hey presto , it fails


if I edit /etc/shadow
root:$1$/mQTx/rj$bf8dpjI9bR.4ygERzsin61:11534:0:::::
and change the password to  DbIyeMzwAhup6
root:DbIyeMzwAhup6:11534:0:::::
suddenly SWAT it works

how do i get swat to recognise the password that passwd puts in /etc/shadow?

build options ( from slackware source ftp) are
./configure \
  --with-fhs \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --localstatedir=/var \
  --bindir=/usr/bin \
  --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
  --sysconfdir=/etc \
  --with-configdir=/etc/samba \
  --with-privatedir=/etc/samba/private \
  --with-codepagedir=/etc/codepages \
  --with-smbmount \
  --with-quotas \
  --with-syslog \
  --with-utmp \
  --with-netatalk \
  --with-sambabook=/usr/share/swat/using_samba \
  --with-ssl \
  --with-sslinc=/usr/include/openssl \
  --with-msdfs \
  --with-vfs \
