samba - Oct 2004 - Error running SWAT

Running SuSE v9.0 and Samba v3.0.7. I have samba up and running ok with
printer and file shares working peer to peer with Win2000 box. However,
I would like to use SWAT for config purposes, rather than manual edit.

If I run http://localhost:901 I receive a 'connection refused' error
message. I had a look in /etc/services and see these two lines as the
only ones referring to port 901:

swat            901/tcp         # CONFLICT, not official assigned!
smpnameres      901/tcp         # SMPNAMERES

I don't know enough about the 'engine' of this stuff to understand
how
to go about fixing this conflict - if in fact it is a conflict I should
fix. I presume the port is already in use and that is why SWAT errors.

Any guidance would be appreciated. This is only to enhance my knowledge
really. As I say, I do have samba working ok.

Paul.

Don't forget to check your (x)inetd configuration.  I believe SuSE 
(which I don't run) is configured pretty much as Fedora (I do run) in 
that there is an /etc/xinet.d/swat file.  Check to make sure that there 
isn't a line in it that says
disable = yes
or
only from = localhost or 127.0.0.1
If you change this file, run /etc/init.d/xinet.d restart and see if it 
doesn't work afterwords.
