[Samba] swat on red hat 7.2

[Stephen Carville]

Do you have write permission to the smb.conf file?

Are you logging in as root?  If not, check the ownwership on the
smb.conf file.  I found that samba administrators have to have their
primary group be the same as the group ownership on smb.conf.

- Hi,
-
- I'm having a minor issue with swat on red hat 7.2.  It won't let me make
- any changes to the samba server (adding shares, printers, and global
- definitions).  The buttons to access these simply don't exist.  I can view
- status, but I can't make any changes (not even restart the daemons).

- This works fine on my Debian system.  The only real difference that I can
- think of is inetd vs xinetd.  Here is my xinetd config for swat:
-
- service swat
- {
-         socket_type     = stream
-         wait            = no
-         user            = root
-         server          = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat
-         log_on_failure  += USERID
-         disable         = no
- }
-
- What else could be wrong?
