Samba is an implementation of the smb/cifs protocol for unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with microsoft windows, os x, and other unix systems.

this package allows you to administer a samba server via a web browser.

swat is no longer actively maintained, and its default configuration is not secure for use over an untrusted network. swat will also rewrite smb.conf, rearranging the entries and deleting all comments as well as include= and copy= options, so is not suitable for use in conjunction with hand-edited smb.conf files or the default package-managed configuration.
