I have my swat file set to
only_from = localhost
Then logging in with <http://localhost:901> should work OK.
Incidentally, the swat file in an xinetd setup is typically located in
/etc/xinetd.d. I know very little about inetd environments, but there's
a pretty good discussion of swat enabling in O'Reilly's _Using Samba_
(Ts, Eckstein, Collier-Brown), beginning on pg 52. This discussion
includes the inetd environment.
