The only docs I found on getting SWAT to run, showed editing the inetd.conf file. As this version of RH (7.3) only uses xinetd things don't fit exactly. I have gone through and did everything that one should do for inetd and it still will not work. I don't normally use the thing, but this client will need the more simplistic interface to add shares, etc.

You can also use the ntsysv command and check the swat box. That does the editing for you. -- Billy O'Connor
The other thing to check is in the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file there should be a line "only_from local host". The RedHat manual has you TEMPORARILY comment this line out. It should be changed to specify the host that can access swat. If it will fit the bill, I would recommend webmin. It does a good job on samba administration.

If you are having trouble getting swat to authenticate then use the -a
switch to turn off all authentication ('server_args = -a' in
/etc/xinetd.d/swat). Once you are happy it works then fix the
authentication.

Yes, I like the webmin samba module except that I wish there were
documentation links for each option as there is with swat.
