I am running samba 2.0.7 on a Red Hat Linux 6.2 system. I have set up swat in /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services as specified in the swat documentation. However, when I attempt to log in to swat using the system root password, swat will not accept this. What do I need to do to access swat?

What do I need to do to access swat?Make sure that the SWAT entry in /etc/inetd.conf (I think this file is correct one) is pointing to the right location for SWAT. I had this problem with SuSE 6.3 since it had SWAT already predefine in /etc/inetd.conf, but since I uninstall the SuSE .RPM and compiled from the Samba 2.0.7 source, SWAT was in a different location. I used a symbolic link in the old location to maintain compatibility with SuSE instead of changing /etc/inetd.conf. Christopher Reimer.
I checked my inetd.conf entry for swat. It is pointing at the location of the swat executable.

[Samba] unable to access SWAT
Hi all, I have recently installed samba-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm,samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm, samba-client-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm and samba-swat-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm. After i installed all these, I start the SMB services and i enable swat, but when i tried to access SWAT from the browser, using : http://localhost:901 or http://127.0.0.1:901 it returns with " the document contain no data. Try again later, contact the server's administrator". Please Help. commands that i did: #service smb start #chkconfig swat on #vi /etc/xinetd.d/swat disable=no #service xinetd restart Regards, Ivan

If it does not help you to solve this, or if you find it defective or useless, then please let me know how to improve it so that the next person to ask regarding SWAT can be saved having to re-live your steps. This chapter should work equally well with samba-2.2.x as with Samba-3.0.x. cheers, John T.> Hi all, > > I have recently installed > samba-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm,samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm, > samba-client-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm and samba-swat-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm. > > After i installed all these, I start the SMB services and i enable swat, > but when i tried to access SWAT from the browser, using : > http://localhost:901 or http://127.0.0.1:901 it returns with " the > document contain no data.
