I have tried downloading the tar.gz version and the redhat rpm binary neither seem to work. The tarball when unzipped and after I have rune ./configure , make, etc (I followed the instructions to the letter) it seems to install ok but it just doesnt work, SWAT doesnt come up at all for example, it says server not found or configured??? Can anyone please help I am wanting to try setting up a PDC for my windows2000 clients but so far have gotten nowhere. feel free to email me at this address or ap90033@earthlink.net.

Check the following:
line in /etc/inetd.conf which points to your shiny new swat binary 
(check the path)
swat      stream  tcp     nowait.400      root /usr/sbin/swat swat
line in /etc/services which gives the port <-> symbolic name mapping for
swat
(you can use any port you like)
swat            10001/tcp
have you have done a: 
#killall -HUP inetd
Are you running inetd ?
#ps ax
output should have something like this:
411 ?        S      0:00 inetd
If not then start it: 
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd start
Check for swat listening:
#netstat -l     ('el' for listening)
output should include something like this:
tcp        0      0 *:swat                  *:*                     LISTEN
That's all there is to it p-)
Sorry if I've taught you how to suck eggs but that is everything I can think
of which is needed to get swat to work.
Cheers
