[Samba] Authentication problems using swat.

[lin-iung]

I'm having issues when connecting to a localhost with swat.  I'm using 
RedHat
7.3 and I have the /etc/services file and the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file 
setup correctly.
At least I think I do, because I'm able to connect and have it prompt me 
for a
username and password. No matter how the swat file is configured, it refuses
access.

Is this something to do with using encrypted passwords with samba, under 
linux,
or is it a Linux security issue?

Thanks to all who reply....I appreciate it.
