SWAT was removed quite some time ago, it had numerous problems, but we 
do have 'testparm'. This will check smb.conf for syntax errors etc. We 
also have a manpage for smb.conf 'man smb.conf', this shows all the 
possible parameters and the possible values for each parameter along 
with its default setting. There are also numerous other manpages and 
last, but not least, there is the Samba wiki:
