I have a RedHat 9.0 machine and just updated to samba-3.0.5pre1. I had been running Samba to network two Windoze computers and using a network printer. Two weeks ago my house was apparently hit by lightning which created havoc with my computer/server. I got it going again but have noticed several lingering problems. For one thing, I can't print from it. I was going to check things out and when I tried to start swat (by typing http://localhost:901/) I got a message that the connection was refused. I started trying to determine what the problem could be by reading the FAQs, etc., and in looking at my system noticed that I no longer have a /etc/inetd.conf file! Can anyone tell me where to find a sample file or could somebody send me one of theirs??? Thanks for any help. You may e-mail me directly if you wish. Kevin Phillips
Hello Kevin, As i remember inetd was replaced by Xinetd in Redhat 8.x and later ( /etc/xinetd/ ) HtH>>> Kevin H.

I think this is resolved now. I'll recap what I've done: Thanks to all who pointed out that /etc/inetd was replaced by the /etc/xinetd.d directory. 1. Inserted "ALL: localhost" into /etc/hosts.allow 2. Changed the line "disable = yes" in /etc/xinetd.d/swat to "disable = no" 3. Removed "only from = 127.0.0.1" from the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file 4. Tried accessing via "http://ip_address_of_samba_host:901" The last one worked. Then I tried localhost:901 again and it worked as well. Go figure. I *thought* I was being careful to restart xinetd after any changes but perhaps I wasn't. Thanks for all the help. Kevin
