samba - Jun 2004 - SWAT - Could not connect to port 901

I'm using Suse 9.1 professional.

I've got Samba *almost* up and running. But, I'm a newbie and need Swat
to
configure a few things. I've gone to /etc/services and made sure that I 
have the entry "swat 901/tcp" I have checked /etc/xinetd.d/swat and
added
"port = 901" and changed it to "disable = no" I have gone
through the steps
in the documentation on setting up swat. It all looks correct.

But when I try to run the program, I get the message:
An error occured while loading localhost:901
Could not connect to host localhost (Port 901)

I have all the files installed. I get the same response whether I use 
localhost or 127.0.0.1. I have restarted xinetd.  I'm not using a firewall. 
This is all behind a NAT router that serves as our firewall. When I give 
the iptables -nL command, I get:
Chain Input policy Accept
Chain Forward policy Accept
Chain Output policy Accept

I ran netstat -a and got 230 lines. There was no reference to "901."

I have even gotten Samba and Swat running twice before. Does anyone know 
what is wrong?

TIA,

Bruce

After you edited the files... did you restart xinetd?

Hi Bruce,

check Your firewall. The fw has blocked traffic on that port on my
machine (Fedora core 1). That solved the same problem for me (newbie).
