Welcome to SWAT!<p>
This is a online demonstration of the current version of the Samba Web
Administration Tool. This tool is still being written so you'll find
it looks very rough at this stage.<p>
This is the first release of the Samba Web Administration Tool. This tool
is being improved so you may find some things look rough at this stage.<p>
Normally this opening page would contain the (as yet unwritten) welcome
blurb for SWAT, giving basic instructions on how to use it. I've put
this bit of waffle in its place for the moment. <p>
SWAT demands authentication before showing you this page, so that only
authenticated users can modify your smb.conf!<p>
Here are some features of SWAT:
<ul>
<li> Built in mini web server so you don't need a web server installed to
manage a Samba server, you just need a browser.
<li> Linked into the master source code so it automatically makes available new
parameters as they are added to Samba.
<li> Direct links to the html version of the smb.conf man page for help
on parameters.
<li> Layout and dialog building is done automatically based on the type
of the smb.conf parameter being changed.
<li> Password and account management built in.
</ul>
Also note that SWAT normally demands authentication before showing you
this page, otherwise anyone could modify your smb.conf! I've disabled
that for this demo.<p>
<H2>Features</H2>
Here are some of the features we want to eventually incorporate.<p>
<ul>
<li> manage smbpasswd (add/delete users, change passwords etc)
<li> be able to run the disgnosis steps from DIAGNOSIS.txt
<li> wizard style config building
<li> Secure authentication.
<li> Running the disgnosis steps from DIAGNOSIS.txt.
<li> GUI wizard style config building.
</ul>
There are also some obvious flaws with what has already been done:
<ul>
<li> help is ghastly
<li> ordering of parameters needs to be looked at
<li> images need redoing
</ul>
On the positive side, here are some good features of SWAT:
<ul>
<li> built in mini web server so you don't need a web server installed to
manage a Samba server, you just need a browser
<li> links to loadparm.c so it automatically makes available new
parameters as they are added to Samba.
<li> it's quite small (around 500 lines of code currently)
<li> layout and dialog building is done automatically based on the type
fields in loadparm.c
</ul>
<H2>Installation</H2>
Before you install SWAT you need to realise that it is still work in
progress. It does work but don't be totally surprised if you hit
problems. Also make sure you are prepared to give us some feedback.<p>
If you still want to install it then you will need to fetch the latest
version of Samba via anonymous CVS. See <A
HREF="http://samba.anu.edu.au/cvs.html">http://samba.anu.edu.au/cvs.html</A>. Then
build and install Samba as usual and read the swat/README file that
comes with the source.
