/etc/smb.conf works out the gate....and then theres the brain-buster
smbpasswd -a billybob....thats a tuff one...actually you do need to
edit the workgroup name in smb.conf.IMHO swat takes more time to get
turned on and working that to make very few edits to a wonderfully
commented and documented conf file. *IMHO*
