I'm trying to connect to swat but can't. Just installed Samba 2.2.2-5 and edited /etc/services, even though I'm running Redhat 7.3 and use xinetd. /etc/xinetd/swat exists.... but I still cannot connect to http://localhost:901. Why??? Thanks for assist.

Is there any way to run swat from the command line instead of starting it from inetd? I'm trying to add some features (mostly, I want to make a backup of the smb.conf file before commiting a new one) and I want to run swat from inside of gdb. Is there a way to start swat in the foreground and have it listen on port 901? Thanks in advance, George Cebulka Senior System

Hi again, I've just reinstalled RH 7.2 and Samba 2.2.7 for the unpteenth time.... this time swat is not working !!! I have checked the etc/services file and swat 901/tcp is in there and I have a text file named swat in etc/xinetd.d directory containing the following... service swat { port = 901 socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat log_on_failure

Howdy! Just downloaded the Binary RPM for Red Hat 7.2. Seemed to install fine (after I removed 2.2.3a) but when I try to use SWAT in Konquerer, it comes back and says that the link is broken to the machine name. I've tried: http://localhost:901, http://[ip]:901 and http://[machine name]:901. I do have SWAT checked in the Service configuration. Any particular reason it would do that?

I was playing with this on my test machine, (redhat 5.2, samba 2.0.3) worked great, and I was really impressed. So I decided to install this on my office machine. (redhat 4.2, samba 2.0.3) and the only significant difference is that on the office machine, I use encrypted passwords. I cannot get swat to authenticate on the second machine. That is, no matter what account, password combination

Hi, I'm having a minor issue with swat on red hat 7.2. It won't let me make any changes to the samba server (adding shares, printers, and global definitions). The buttons to access these simply don't exist. I can view status, but I can't make any changes (not even restart the daemons). This works fine on my Debian system. The only real difference that I can think of is inetd

I have tried everything that I know of. I have reviewed the services file and the swat file in xinetd.d a tun of times. It appears, via netstat that swat is listening on port 901. However when I attempt to access it via the Mozilla browser on my Fedora server (with 127.0.0.1:901 or localhost:901) nothing happens. It just sits there. However, if I access it via webmin (which has swat stored
