How to Enable SWAT
The Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) is a free web administration tool that is part of the Samba suite. SWAT is designed to let you configure your Samba server by connecting to port 901 through your Web browser. The entire Samba suite was developed for use with Unix and similar operating systems, such as Linux, BSD and Solaris. By default, SWAT is disabled when you install it. You have to manually enable it by changing the control file.
