Hello: I have samba-2.2.5-1 running in RedHat 7.3, but I get the page cannot be displayed message when I go to http://sambaserver:901 My /etc/etc/xinetd.d/swat file looks as below. I have removed only_from = localhost and changed disable = yes to no service swat { port = 901 socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/swat

Don't feel stupid. I'd guess you're using 2.4 kernel and not the 2.2 kernel? In 2.2 services default to using inet.d In 2.4 services default to using xinetd to start stuff. You need to go to /etc/xinet.d and make sure the file swat has a "disable=no" in it. As a matter of fact, for security purposes, I'd do a vi * in that directory (/etc/xinet.d ) and make sure

Since I've upgraded to Redhat 7.2 I cannot get swat to work, I am using the 2.4.7-10 kernal with samba 2.2.7 installed. I have checked all the applicable files, edited them accordingly as per Gary Fournerat's excellent How-to. No joy. I am pretty certain this is an xinetd issue. I never had this difficulty with inetd. I know that SAMBA is running as I can see the server from this

Hi all, I've googled and discovered that others have had this problem, but no one has given sufficient details about how they solved it, so I'm still stuck. As preface, I'm a high school teacher, and although I teach programming, my sysadmin experience is minimal, so please be explicit in your replies. I've been following the instructions in the O'Reilly Samba book for

I'm having problems validating when using swat on the localhost. The server is RH Linux 7.3. I'm using encrypted passwords and I'm able to connect to points using Windows products, etc; however, when I http://localhost:901, I get the login dialog, but it won't accept the root account or password. It tells me that the "Authorization failed". I did configure the

Hello, I would like to use Swat to configure Samba. I installed the Redhat Samba package from samba.org and entered swat into my /etc/services file. I am frankly a little confused. I am reading O'Reily's "Red Hat Linux" it says to issue commands "chkconfig xinetd on", "chkconfig swat on", and finally "xinetd reload". On the third command

Hi There I need help on setting up swat 3.0.0 on RedHat 7.1. I've got xinetd installed but not inetd and can't find configuration to setup swat on xinetd. Do I need inetd and where do I get it from. New in the game so please be pasient Anton

Hi, I have installed samba 2.2.7 and cannot get swat to work. I have entry in /etc/services file and alo in /etc/xinetd.d/swat.

Hi all, I have recently installed samba-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm,samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm, samba-client-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm and samba-swat-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm. After i installed all these, I start the SMB services and i enable swat, but when i tried to access SWAT from the browser, using : http://localhost:901 or http://127.0.0.1:901 it returns with " the document contain no data.

Hi everyone, In the last few days I've spended hours and hours on the web surching for a solution to my problems. Eventhough it looked like there where several other people having the same problem I couldn't find a way to solve it. Therefore I'm hoping that one of you could help me with the following problem. I've installed Samba 3.0.14a on RedHat 9.0. Samba is working perfectly.

Specifically, the instructions on the Samba3 doc file explain that I must edit the following information (as did John): Make an entry in /etc/services for a line called "swat". I've done that, it's called "swat3", and it ports to 902/TCP (Yes, I realize it's not the native port.) Make the adjustment in the /etc/xinet[d].d/swat3 file to point to the same port.

Ok, I should be able to start swat with xinetd, but I can't seem to get anything to start. 1. How do I tell if swat is running (other than trying to browse to aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:901) 2. Can someone give me an idea of what and where I need commands for xinetd. Server is RH7.2, Samba 2.2.3a, following file "swat" is in /etc/xinetd.d/ ## /etc/xinetd.d/swat service swat { port

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

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,

Dear samba-ers, I have installed SWAT so that my samba users can change their passwords easily and remotely as they do not have login access to the samba server. Broadly speaking my problem is that when registered as a user, it seems that swat cannot access the file /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb Version info: Linux platform: CentOS 6.5 Linux Kernel: 2.6.32-431 Samba: 3.6.9-167.el6_5

I have downloaded, build and installed samba-4.0.9 from source on two separate boxes running RHEL6.4. My problem is that despite having identical configurations, swat is running on one server and not on the other. Here is my xinetd conf service swat { port = 901 socket_type = stream wait = no only_from = 192.168.1.0/24 user = root server =

Hi Sean, I had this problem when I upgraded our servers to RedHat 7. In RedHat 7 they changed from running the inetd.d to running xinetd.d. This is the daemon that figures out what programs to start when a port is accessed. Port 901 is for swat, this is configured in your /etc/services file. In the /etc/xinetd.d/ directory you'll find a file called swat. Edit this file so it looks

hola, habla usted ingles? bueno, revise bien que 'xinetd' este instalado y corriedo como servicio: ps -ae | grep xinetd si resulta que si, entonces revise el documento de configuracion de swat (/etc/xinetd.d/swat): # default: off # description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \ # to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \ # connect to port 901

Hitting a big mystery here. I've configured samba properly but I would like to run swat. The /etc/xinetd.d/swat file contains: service swat { disable = no port = 901 socket_type = stream wait = no only_from = 127.0.0.1 user = root server = /usr/sbin/swat log_on_failure +=
