Bug#378454: swat: not usable when root account is disabled (pure sudo system)

2009-01-15 Thread Jerome Warnier
Actually, there is another solution: SWAT manages permissions using PAM, and using rights on /etc/samba/smb.conf. So the solution is just to allow you user(s) to write to /etc/samba/smb.conf. Example: adduser myuser adm chgrp adm /etc/samba/smb.conf chmod g+w /etc/samba/smb.conf Hope it helps

Package: swat Version: 3.0.22-1 Severity: important debian-installer now offers the option to disable the root account and grant a normal user full sudo priviledges instead. With such a setup swat is not usable, since it seems to insist on a login with username 'root' + root's unix password.
