[Samba] Setting up SWAT

[Rob Tanner]

A couple of things.  First, I use RedHat and was never aware that
chkconfig does the HUP'ing for you so I've always just done it all by
hand, and SWAT works for me.  Possible conclusion: chkconfig isn't working
like it's suppossed to.

The other thing to check is that your machine resolves localhost properly
and that your pointing your browser to localhost as well, and not to the
machine's regular IP address.

Lastly, make sure that ipchains/iptables isn't causing the problem.
