There is the Samba "swat" tool.
http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/SWAT.html
>From memory, you need to install "samba-swat", then you need to enable
and start the swat server with chkconfig and service (or just start it
with service when you need it). I think you need xinetd too. Then
from a browser running on the same machine, browse
http://127.0.0.1:901. I believe when it asks you to login you can use
root.
*BUT* there are lots of security risks/concerns using this tool, which
is why it isn't installed by default.
