Package: swat
Version: 3.0.22-1
Severity: important

debian-installer now offers the option to disable the root account and
grant a normal user full sudo priviledges instead.

With such a setup swat is not usable, since it seems to insist on a
login with username 'root' + root's unix password.

Extensive googling seems to suggest that swat authenticates against
the samba passwords -- at the moment it does not, but I like the idea.

Please provide some way for logging in to swat as admin without having
to have a root account. This would have the added benefit that people
who one don't have to transmit the password in the clear.

Regards,

Christian
