mudfish Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 hi all. recently installed samba server(3.0.23b) with swat on mandriva 2007 box.everything went smoothly but when i try to access samba via swat on my browser as root it keeps throwing me back to its login prompt eventhough i am 100% sure i entered the correct root password. (i am accessing it on the same machine where samba is installed.)before that ive already edited the swat file on the xinetd.d directory and change the option disable from "yes" to "no" and then run "service xinetd restart" any ideas ?

ianw1974 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Check the swat config for IP addresses that it accepts connections from. Chances are it's only configured to accept connections from localhost or the same machine that swat is installed on. Are you trying to access it from another machine? This is what problem I had when I used swat and tried to connect from another machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudfish Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 no.i am trying to access it from the localhost itself i.e on the same machine that swat and samba is installed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudfish Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 found this info on mandriva 2007 errata page and that answers my problem. http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Releases/Mandr...T_dies_on_login i should have read the errata page before asking here.sorry mods. :wacko: but thanks again ian for the time.
