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

[Jim Myers]

I finally got SWAT working:

1 - I had to compile samba 3.0 with --with-pam option
2 - I had to copy .../packaging/RedHat/samba.pamd to /etc/pam.d/samba

This really ought to be documented somewhere but I sure couldn't find it 
and I looked pretty hard!

Try checking in the /etc/pam.d directory that authorize the use of swat.
