The Webmin server is just that a server. You access it through any webbrowser on your network (or WAN if you wish, not necessarily the one on the samba box, hince no need for a GUI).
I didn't like SWAT because it really strips down the smb.conf and does other voodoo ish things. I would recommend that if this is a home based box, get a SAMBA book and do it by hand. Or you can install Webmin and look at the changes it makes. In any case (as with my e-smith), I have learned the lessons of learning to configure files by hand. just my 2 nickels On Tuesday 26 March 2002 15:43, you wrote: > I did look at Webmin.
