Swat doesn't work.

Okay, I thank all f you again for helping me get Samba 2.2.2 working.  I've
got it working and I am just an English teacher, so I don't have a lot of
time to play around too much, but I can't get swat to work.  I cannot type
http://myserver:901, well I can, but the page doesn't come up.  When I use
webmin, and I go into my Samba Servers, there is a box where the swat button
is supposed to be, but it has an X in it like the link for the picture is
gone and there is no text under the picture.

According to my machine swat is running.  When I do a locate swat, this is
what I get:> locate swat/home/bear/swat-2.2.2-2.i386.rpm
/usr/libexec/webmin/samba/swat.cgi
/usr/libexec/webmin/samba/swat_save.cgi
/usr/share/doc/samba-2.2.2/examples/misc/swat.pl
/usr/share/samba/swat
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/swat.desktop
/etc/xinetd.d/swat

The /home/bear/swat-2.2.2-2.i386.rpm is the swat rpm that I downloaded and
installed when it wouldn't
work.  The /etc/xinetd.d/swat is a file I made after reading some of your
comments to other people.
Any thoughts?

Just a thought, but have you tried typing

http://192.168.1.1:901

replacing the numbers with your server's ip address?

If this works then probably your problem is dns based.

If not, say not, and maybe someone else will suggest something.

Swat doesn't work.

First are you trying to access the swat from a different machine? If not,
localhost:901 should work to.

Here is my swat file under xinet.d Note, only_from is commented out to allow
machine other than the local host to work.

# default: on
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
#              to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
#              connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
service swat
{
        port    = 901
        socket_type     = stream
        wait    = no
        #only_from = localhost
        user    = root
        server  = /usr/sbin/swat
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        #disable = yes
}

Do you have /etc/pam.d/samba file? You need it to authorize it. The
following contains the contents.

auth    required        /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required        /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
