Komal> Raju , Would you please elaborate more on why Swat is a Bad
Komal> Idea (tm)
Because it's incomplete. You can make manual edit changes in
smb.conf, and then run Swat and if Swat doesn't understand those
changes it'll just happily delete them. It'll also delete any
comments that you put in your smb.conf to make it more readable to the
next person who comes along to maintain Samba in your organisation.
