Samba-swat provides a HTTP server so you use it via a web browser.  You
could do that either by allowing connections to that web server (by
default it is limited to localhost) or by using SSH to forward the port.

If you want to use the redhat-config-samba you can just forward X over SSH.

What X The GUI and forward it were? Your not talking about 'RealVNC'?

A lot of people don't.

You can, you just didn't ask the question of how :-)

Your a bright spark William

Thanks for your advice, next time I will ask how insted of saying 'I
wish'...:-)
Ok here we go ..... I am a  newbi and only know the hard way of doing
things.
Could you help me make life easier, ....Thank you I knew you would (?)
Your talking about swat, I have read about it but never used it my self
(could not get it going, tried once and ran out of time). Ok my
system is up and running and thus far I used SSH to manipulate the system.
How do I set up swat, I suppose that I need apache to be running or
something?
Where do I confirm that swat is installed? I know the basics. Ports, what
ports
(I know what you mean but how do you set them, firewalling)?
