<grin> no flames from me, good friend. You're not emailing the group, but me as an individual. I will send the conversation out to the group though, along with my comments: SWAT requires you to: configure /etc/hosts configure /etc/lmhosts enable SWAT in /etc/services and in /etc/inetd.conf configure /etc/hosts.allow configure /etc/hosts.deny (ALL:ALL) then type in #killall -HUP inetd then, from a browser on one of the clients type in http://192.168.1.1:901 and a box should pop up asking for my username and password. After all of this, I should be able to configure SAMBA (according to the guide I'm readng), but I'm stuck at the browser box coming up and asking for my username & password.
