Hello

When I start up my swat (installed together with samba 3.0.6) and show
the status tab, it says that smbd is not running.

However:
clock at oberon:~$ ps ax | grep smbd
 7697 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  7705 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  27179 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  29716 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  12116 ?        S      0:01 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  12297 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  12864 ?        S      4:58 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  13512 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  13577 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  13602 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  13621 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd
  13847 pts/0    S      0:00 grep smbd
  clock at oberon:~$ locate smbd.pid 
  warning: locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is
  more than 8 days old
  /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid
  clock at oberon:~$ cat `locate smbd.pid`
7697

Why is SWAT reporting a bogus information? Is there some option that
I forgot to enable or is this a bug that I should report to the
bugzilla?

What should I report? I doubt the information that swat is reporting
bogus on smbd status will be of any value.
