The chapter on SWAT in the document:

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

may help you to sort this out. If it does not help you to solve this, or
if you find it defective or useless, then please let me know how to
improve it so that the next person to ask regarding SWAT can be saved
having to re-live your steps.

This chapter should work equally well with samba-2.2.x as with
Samba-3.0.x.
