[Samba] swat

[Joseph Loo]

PAM is the plugable authentication modules. Some of the distro enable 
this. First thing, look at /etc/pam.d if the directory exists then you 
are likekly have the pam system up and running. If not, I made an 
earlier mistake,  the xinetd.d file needs to be name swat. By the way, 
if you want to access from other host, you can just comment the 
only_from line.

Did you try localhost:901 from your browser?
