Therefore it's accessed via the HTTP (web) protocol using a web browser on TCP port 901. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address (localhost). The :901 part tells your web browser to query port 901 instead of the standard TCP port 80. By using the address: http://1127.0.0.1:901 in Safari (or what ever your favorite web browser is), it will communicate with SWAT. A little authentication dialog will automagically slide out of the top of the window. Where it says "name" you type in "root". Where it says "password" you type in the root password for the system. If your system doesn't have the root password enabled, you open a Terminal window and type in 'sudo passwd root' to set a root password for the system. -- Chris
