I pointed my browser to http://localhost:901, an authentication dialogue

This is a guess, but try adding

to the [global] section.
You might also try, as I did, using the /etc/samba/smb.conf file that came
with the samba package. Then run swat, and use it to make your changes.

There are a couple of other things you might want to try: since you've
gotten to the authentication dialog, it appears you have a proper swat
config file (you might, though, compare yours to the one that's on pg 53 of
Ts, et al.'s _Using Samba_ (O'Reilly pub), just to be sure. The biggie,
though, is that, unless you explicitly set up swat to do otherwise, you
need to log in as root to get it to run (don't forget to assign the same
password for smbpasswd as you have for your root access for your kubuntu
machine...). Anyone using swat can mess with your samba con fig file, and
you don't want that--you should limit access to root, and that's the
default access level for swat.
