[Samba] RE: SWAT not working, can't authenticate

[Noel Kelly]

I have had this problem before.  Never really got to the bottom of it but if
you want to get on then just add '-a' to your swat command to disable
authentication.

I had already done that, so it must be something more subtle...

Not to sure, but I think you may need to add the root account to Samba.
smbpasswd -a root

I have Samba 3.0 alpha20 installed on Linux RedHat 7.3 and all works
fine 
except for SWAT.
I have /etc/xinetd.d/swat defined properly (I think) and port 901 is 
active and starts SWAT OK.

When I try to log in to SWAT either locally or from remote browser, the 
authentication fails.
I'm logging in as user=root with the correct password, but the 
authentication still fails.

Is there some special password file that SWAT uses?
