Re: what happened to the swat wiki
According to the wiki page history, swat was removed upstream.
https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.1.0.html
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-t … 90572.html
You can use the wiki history to look at what used to be there.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=275734
A quick web search also gave me this: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Sam … /SWAT.html
but that might be a little out of date, and useless if swat is gone from samba 4.1.

Re: what happened to the swat wiki
life might suck without swat. although i never depended on it, anytime i had an insurmountable problem with samba, swat ALWAYS was able to fix it. to this day im not sure what the problems are, but i think they are related to user permisions, such ad pbedit is it?? pdbedit? whatever... but swat would help me overcome the problems. now that im setting a no frills samba server, i wanted to reach for it first.
thanks for the docs, ill give them a shot. but you made me realize that if samba was updated to 4.1 then yes maybe your right, maybe those features are no longer..

Re: what happened to the swat wiki
I never used swat, but I can honestly say that the tools provided with samba are not that difficult once you play around with them a little. The smb.conf, though long, is well documented and has some excellent examples. So imo I think things are just as usable as before assuming that whoever is administering the service is not afraid to read a little documentation and edit a config by hand.

Re: what happened to the swat wiki
thanks for the response.
yeah i have been configuring it by hand for years now, but always have problems when i need to change configurations. Then some problem causes things to spiral downwards in which i cant seem to get over the hump. this has happened so many different times. Finally, i just aimed for swat first.
in this case, the default install was really easy to get userdirs set up, which is all i needed, so i went with it, and deleted a bunch of other stuff off the default config. things are working fine.
Hey wonder woofy, we never got a chance to visit, now im more than a thousand miles from ya.. :-) hows Cali doing nowadays, im sure all the same, lol.
Edit: this post goes to show ya, alot of us love our dogs.... look at the avatars, and the usernames, lolol
