Figure 18-2: Use SWAT from your browser to manage your Samba configuration. The rest of this section describes how to use SWAT to create your configuration entries (in /etc/samba/smb.conf) and to work with that configuration. Caution Any time you use a GUI to change a plain-text configuration file (as you do with SWAT), it is possible that you will lose some of the information that you put in by hand. In this case, SWAT deletes comment lines and rearranges other entries. Make a backup copy of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file if you edit it with SWAT after you have edited it by hand. Creating global Samba settings A group of global settings affects how file and print sharing are generally accomplished on a Samba server. They appear under the [global] heading in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. There are six option types available: Base options, security options, logging options, printing options, browse options, and WINs options. To view and modify your global Samba server settings, click the Globals button. Then add the following options. Base options The following options relate to basic information associated with your Samba server. Workgroup The name of the workgroup associated with the group of SMB hosts. By default, the value for this field is workgroup. Netbios Name The name assigned to this Samba server. You can use the same name as your DNS hostname. Server String A string of text identifying the server. This name appears in places such as the printer comment box. By default, it says Samba Server. Interfaces Lets you set up more than one network interface. This enables Samba to browse several different subnetworks. The form of this field can be IP Address/Subnetwork Mask. Or, you could identify a network interface (such as eth0 for the first Ethernet card on your computer). For example, a Class C network address may appear as: 192.168.24.11/255.255.255.0
