Re: Swat in Samba Tarball?

[John Nichel <jnichel by-tor com>]

None of the Linux users that I personally know use Webmin or SWAT for 
Samba.  They're all hard core geeks and do it with vi or EMACS.  I 
prefer Webmin to SWAT.  I used SWAT a few years ago when I first got 
into Linux, and didn't care for what it did to the conf file (however it 
is loads better than what Linuxconf will do to it).  Most of the time I 
vi my smb.conf file...just quicker for me, but I've used Webmin for it, 
and it keeps the file clean.  Plus Webmin will help you with many other 
services / applications / servers in Linux.
