[Bug 815968] [NEW] SWAT doesn't allow admin login after install

[Tobin Davis]

Public bug reported:

After installing ubuntu-server Natty (amd64) with samba file server,
openssh-server, and swat web management package, swat fails to allow the
user to administrate the system.  I later discovered that the
permissions of /etc/samba/smb.conf need to have group adm and g+w set
for the default user (created during install) to have access.  This step
should be added to the swat post-install.  Security shouldn't be
adversely affected by this change, as people in the adm group are by
nature sudoers any ways.
