allow computers besides localhost to access the swat service on Fedora systems, you must change or

Running a File Server 27
Any time you use a GUI to change a plain-text configuration file (as you do with SWAT),
you may lose some of the information that you put in by hand. In this case, SWAT deletes
comment lines and rearranges other entries. To protect changes you have made manually, make a
backup copy of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file before you edit it with SWAT.
Creating Global Samba Settings in SWAT
A group of global settings affects how file and print sharing are generally accomplished on a Samba
server. These settings appear under the [global] heading in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. To
view and edit global variables, click the GLOBALS button on the SWAT window.
Seven types of options are available: base, security, logging, tuning, printing, browse, and WINs.
Each option relates to the exact parameters used in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
You can refer to the smb.conf man page (type man smb.
