Eww, please don't recommend that POS called Swat! Use Webmin (I'm sure it has a Samba plugin) or better yet edit the files manually. Swat is a Bad Idea(tm), just like GUI front-ends to Iptables.
And could you tell me how it is a bad solution to the OP's question? swat comes by default enabled only to be accessed from localhost. Yes, it asks for root password over a cleartext based HTTP POST system. But I am sure, it is good enough to be used over localhost when the local root account is considered to be secure enough. And if configured to be used along with stunnel it is as secure as any other over the network. UI - webmin or what not. BTW, even webmin is considered to be a security hole by many.
