SAMBA SWAT on Fedora Core 7

[ZuriJAckshoT]

When I installed Fedora 7, Samba Swat is not already installed. Can anyone, give me some advice on how do I install and configure Samba Swat on my Fedora 7? Thanks.

Do the following as root:

yum install samba-swat
service xinetd start
chkconfig swat on

SWAT should now be accessible at http://localhost:901/

I'm assuming you can still use swat in Fedora 8. Haven't tried yet. How about considering Webmin? You will need to download and install it but once installed it opens up a world of configuration options. It's browser based. In the location bar of the browser you enter https://localhost.localdomain:10000/, enter username root and root's password and you're off! You can find webmin here.

Thanks for the reply. If you have time please enlighten me by answering the following questions. I'm behind a web proxy server.

- How do I tell yum to use my proxy when it connects to it's repositories?
- Where can I get a list of repositories server where my yum can connect to?
- Can I tell yum to connect to my desire repository? If yes, How?
- How can I get a list of all packages I installed with yum and while installation Fedora?

You see? I'm bit in the dark with how yum works, and it's configurations, etc...

Thanks

The main repos are already included. You can also install the Livna repos. Follow the instructions here: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...ra-f8.html#yum or go to rpm.livna.org to find out how. There's also many other repos. Seek and ye shall find.

You can disable the repos you don't want to use, on a temporary basis or permanently.
