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>
|
|
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
</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.

<H2>Feedback</H2>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="mailto:mtippett@linuxsa.org.au">Matthew Tippett</A> is the
|
|
main one doing SWAT work besides myself. He is especially looking at
|
|
the layout and GUI design of the system which is something I am
|
|
terrible with :-)<p>
