samba - Dec 2003 - SWAT won't work.

Ok, here is the problem. Samba is working, I can access it from
a account I created from a windows XP machine. So that is good. But I can?t
get swat to work when I go to my browser windows explorer and go to
http://192.168.1.125 <http://192.168.1.125/> :901 (which is my static IP
address for the machine). Of course with out port 901. But nothing happens
when I try to open it. I do have my web server up and going, infact I have a
squirl mail up and running. So I know the httpd is up. I?m running Red Hat
7.3 and running samba 3.1. I tried to telnet from the actual machine with
samba on it to telnet 192.168.1.125:901 and it says ?telnet: 127.0.0.1:901:
Name or service not known? so it?s not working. I think that is the problem.
How do I get it so httpd service will interact with port 901 and make samba
work? Help is appreciated, I?m trying to get samba up and running for a
non-profit org. that can not afford to buy windows 2000 server and pay for
it, and pay for the 5 licenses we will have to buy. HELP is much
appreciated.
THANKS

Swat runs as a separate service, not under the webserver. You need to have it 
configured in inetd or xinetd.
