19.4.2 Web Administration with SWAT
An alternative tool for Samba server administration is SWAT (Samba Web Administra-
tion Tool). It provides a simple Web interface with which to congure the Samba
server. To use SWAT, open http://localhost:901 in a Web browser and log
in as user root. If you do not have a special Samba root account, use the system root
account.
NOTE: Activating SWAT
After Samba server installation, SWAT is not activated. To activate it, open
Network Services > Network Services (xinetd) in YaST, enable the network services
conguration, select swat from the table, and click Toggle Status (On or Off).
19.4.3 Conguring the Server Manually
If you intend to use Samba as a server, install samba. The main conguration le for
Samba is /etc/samba/smb.conf. This le can be divided into two logical parts.
The [global] section contains the central and global settings. The [share] sections
contain the individual le and printer shares. By means of this approach, details regarding
the shares can be set differently or globally in the [global] section, which enhances
the structural transparency of the conguration le.
19.4.3.1 The global Section
The following parameters of the [global] section need some adjustment to match
the requirements of your network setup so other machines can access your Samba
server via SMB in a Windows environment.
workgroup = TUX-NET
This line assigns the Samba server to a workgroup. Replace TUX-NET with an
appropriate workgroup of your networking environment. Your Samba server appears
under its DNS name unless this name has been assigned to some other machine in
the network. If the DNS name is not available, set the server name using
netbiosname=MYNAME. For more details about this parameter, see the
smb.conf man page.
