SWAT

[Alex Morris]

Well, I figured out the problem while I was going through and trying some of 
the items that were mentioned here.  The problem is that Netscape sucks.  I 
tried running SWAT through Lynx and it crashed and burned, but Lynx was kind 
enough to tell me *why* it crashed and burned.  Apparently my "swat" 
executable was supposed to be in /usr/local/samba/bin but it was residing in 
/usr/local/sbin (I think that's where it was...).  So, after spending 2 or 3 
minutes trying to figure out how to create a symbolic link, I decided to 
simply mv the executable to the proper directory.  Now SWAT runs.

However, this brings up two questions for me:

1.) How do I create a symbolic link?  I looked through some documentation 
for "link" but when I try to do "link swat /usr/swat" or "link -s swat 
/usr/swat", it just lists it's syntax and does nothing.

2.) While running SWAT, I realized that my X drivers suck.  (I never wanted 
to configure X, but because of SWAT, I decided it would be worth it...)  So 
I tried to install the Mach64 server by doing a "make install" in the proper 
ports directory.  It told me that it couldn't fetch X335<something>.tgz .  
So I downloaded the X335<something>.tgz file, but could not figure out where 
to put it for "make install" to figure out that it's already on the 
computer.  I tried: /usr, /usr/ports, /usr/ports/X11-servers, 
/usr/ports/X11-servers/XttyXF86srv-Mach64, and 
/usr/ports/X11-servers/XttyXF86srv-Mach64/pkg -- every time "make install" 
would say that it couldn't find the .tgz file and then try to fetch it.  
With no 'Net connection on that computer, it couldn't fetch, so it would 
stop running.  Where do I put the .tgz files?

Thank you all,
Alex
