[Samba] Can not connect to SWAT

[John H Terpstra]

Hi,

Have you followed the information given in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf.
You can obtain it from:

	http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

It has a chapter on SWAT that provides detailed information on how to get
SWAT working on your system. If that fails please get back to me.
