I don't use OS X x or pam, so I have to bow out at this point.
(Although the fact that I don't use pam, and I have no problems
operating swat may contain a hint.)

Thanks.
On OS X 10.4 swat is run from launchd and the equivalent of conf file
is swat.plist. This file seems to control only the start up.
smbpasswd refuses to change any passwords (though it asks for it
first!). The messages in the log file indicate that the
authentication is done through pam. I am not familiar with pam, but
the file /etc/pam.d/chkpasswd contains the following:
# chkpasswd: auth account
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so
which I guess means that unix password should be enough (but is not).
Below is swat.log. I don't like the rhost 0.0.0.0, but don't know how
to fix it. Is swat.plist the right place?

There are a couple of things you may need to do. One is to write a
swat configuration file. There's a good example on page 53 of Ts,
Eckstein, and Collier-Brown's _Using Samba_ (O'Reilly pub) that
works well for Fedora Core and SUSE. You may need to tailor it some
for your OS, but I think most of the tailoring will be in where you
have to put the file. Also, the example includes the line
"only-from = localhost." You may need to change that to "only- from
= 127.0.0.1." Localhost almost always works, but sometimes it's
necessary to use the IP address instead. Also, after having
installed the file, don't forget to restart (or start in the first
place) your inetd or xinetd--whichever daemon your OS uses.
You also may need to add root's password to smbpasswd.
Hope this helps.
