Description
Discussion Text
SWAT is a tool used to configure Samba. As it modifies Samba configuration, which can impact system security, it must be protected from unauthorized access. SWAT authentication may involve the root password, which must be protected by encryption when traversing the network.
Restricting access to the local host allows for the use of SSH TCP forwarding, if configured, or administration by a web browser on the local system.
