similar to: Swat inactive, xinetd issue?

I am inquiring about setup of the SWAT utility I have installed Red Hat 7.0 with samba installed during the initial setup of Redhat. I have two network cards installed in my Server and I am connected to the internet via a Cable Modem. When I try to start SWAT netscape displays the message that it cannot find the local host on port 90. I have downloaded the book over samba and I have also tried to

Hello all: Here's the problem [on a RH7 running kernel 2.2.17-14 with Samba 2.0.7-21ssl and xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14]: http://localhost:901 does bring up the SWAT login dialog box.. but upon entering root as the user, followed by my root passwd in the next entry... it tells me "Authentication failed. Retry?" I can tell you that I did enter the correct root passwd, because I am root

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!! But before I say what I did... yall have to promise not to laugh! (MAH!! I HEAR YOU!!) ... anyone ever heard of.... /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart I can tell you from experience that 'killall -HUP xinetd' is NOT the same. I can also say that nobody will find that command line entry in "Using Samba". To show my appreciation to the groups involved,

I've looked in /usr/local/samba/swat for help and even the samba source docs and can't find anything on setting up swat. I've also looked at samba.org/samba/docs, but can find a swat setup doc. Can some please point me in the right direction? thanks, daniel

Hello all, I'm having trouble logging into swat. Not even root can login! I'm using Rocks 4.1 (linux cluster based on CentOS) Has anybody experienced this? Thanks in advance! Santiago

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 Community, It isn't just !!! Help me ! I make inqueries here and nobody anwser me.

Staging for a rollout of EL 6, and ran into a very strange permissions issue with xinetd that defies all (my) logic. It's a script called "spfiled" that we use for messaging between our server cluster servers. I'm trying to get it to run with "least permissions necessary". Because it reads/writes files in conjunction with a web-based service, it runs as user

I've done this before and can't remember how. Also I have searched the archives and can't find it. Maybe some of us can come up with a better way searching the archives. My current way takes a lot of time. Anyway I am trying to enable swat from a remote location and there is some file somewhere that says only allow it from local but I can't remember what file that is. Can

Some of you have already read about my newbie fortune with this Samba3 install. Thanks to those who answered my original questions. Now I have something which I know is probably academic, and perhaps still newbie-related. When I installed Samba3 on Friday, it took me a little while to figure out that my names required adding a 3 to the end (SWAT3, SAMBA3, TESTPARM3, et al). I did not uninstall

Running SuSE v9.0 and Samba v3.0.7. I have samba up and running ok with printer and file shares working peer to peer with Win2000 box. However, I would like to use SWAT for config purposes, rather than manual edit. If I run http://localhost:901 I receive a 'connection refused' error message. I had a look in /etc/services and see these two lines as the only ones referring to port 901:

What is really puzzling me is that the ataraid device (/dev/ataraid/d0p1 mounted as /bigdisk) 2x 123GB IBM Deskstar's is formated as ext2...top and ps etc... show a fight between kjournald and kupdated and all searches for kjournald or kupdated fights suggest ext3 issues... :-) It's a RedHat 7.2, 2.4.7-10 custom kernal (I added in the Promise FastTrak support and HIGH mem support to

Hi everybody I have installed SWAT services under MacOS X Server 10.3.3 by adding the service to Netinfo manager and set enabled = yes in /etc/xinet.d/swat file. I try to login as root in Safari (I have enabled the root account), but keep getting the messages that the name and the password is incorrect. Any ideas anyone ? Best regards Torsten

Is there a description or statement that describes the stock kernal in CentOS, and would give all the various modules it is compiled with? As with BSD, I assume there are things in the kernal that are mandatory, and then there are things that are optional or included so as to catch most everything one could have w/r/t hardware. That being the case, as with FreeBSD, removing those unneded

I'm installing the new Slackware 10.0 distribution - but not sure if i should go with the 2.4 kernal - which i think is the default install - or the new 2.6 kernal? anyone running * and slackware 10.0 with 2.6 kernal? thanks joe

Hello All Samba-list Members, I have installed a Samba 2.2.7, the samba-latest.tar.gz, as a PDC on a Redhat8.0 GNU/Linux server. ( Of course, I first uninstalled the original samba that came with the Redhat installation CDs by rpm -e samba*.) The installation was successful. Then I modified /etc/services and /etc/xinetd.d/swat as suggested in the installation document uncompressed from

My * is presently running fine on Mandrake 9.2, but Ive been entertaining moving to Mandrake 10.0 to enjoy the obvious improvement in kernal speed Im seeing on other 10.0 boxes Ive recently built for other applications. (10.0 is the first implementation of the 2.6 kernal) Any comments from anyone who's running on 10.0? IS anyone running * on Mandrake 10.0? If so, any issues stand out?
