samba - Nov 2002 - SWAT, where ? Got it, not working :-(

G'day....

Simple solution...

Uninstall samba/swat packages... Reinstall... test.

swat should work "right out of the box" ...

All the best...

I'll try to list what I've done...

Downloaded and installed the latest Samba (which contains swat). Installed
it and it seems to work as I can log in to a share with my W2k PC.

As I'm using Red Hat 7.2 this has xinetd so...

Added    swat 901/tcp    into the /etc/services  file

Then created a new file in the /etc/xinet.d  folder and named it  swat

In the swat file I put

{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}

That's it....rebooted a few times, tried to connect from my PC using IE 
but
can't.  I have another Samba server but it's running SlackWare and uses
inetd so the configuration differs :-(  I get to that one OK using IE/Swat

I have checked that swat is actually in the folder /usr/local/samba/bin 
and
it does show up in the list of services in KDE but does however say "You
must enable xinetd to run this service"  Maybe I've missed something ?

Thanks

Mike
