Install on debian:
apt-get install samba swat xinetd
update-inetd --enable 'swat'
Create a text file called /etc/xinetd.d/swat with the following information in it:
# default: on
# description: SWAT - The Samba Web Administration Toolkit
service swat
{
disable = no
port = 901
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
type = unlisted
}
You have to edit the samba configuration file and (or use swat) restart samba and xinetd.
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart /etc/init.d/samba restart
