37.3.2 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 configure the Samba
server. To use SWAT, open
in as user root. If you do not have a special Samba root account, use the system root
account.

Network Services > Network Services (xinetd) in YaST, enable the network services
configuration, select swat from the table, and click Toggle Status (On or Off).

37.3.3 Configuring the Server Manually

If you intend to use Samba as a server, install samba. The main configuration file of
Samba is /etc/samba/smb.conf. This file can be divided into two logical parts.
The [global] section contains the central and global settings. The [share] sections
contain the individual file 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 configuration file.
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.
