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

(Yet Another Samba Question) Using Fedora Core 2, I have edited/created my swat file, restarted the xinetd service, but when I attempt to launch SWAT using local host, I get the following message: The connection was refused trying to contact localhost:901 ANy ideas? Joe

I recently decided to set up a Linux machine with the intent to run samba on it. I am running Mandrake 10 and I have installed the latest version of samba from the website. But I can't seem to get samba and swat to work. Because when I go to http://localhost:901 <http://localhost:901/> I receive an error, informing me that it cannot be reached. This is what I have done so

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.

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 have a Red Hat 9 file server and I have been unable to use swat to configure the smb.conf file. I have samba-swat installed and the following in /etc/xintetd: ================================================================= # default: off # description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \ # to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \ # connect to port

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, I am not able to access SWAT from any other host besides the one running the SWAT daemon. No firewall blocking access on either side. # netstat -lnt | grep 901 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN works fine connecting from localhost using: lynx localhost:901 Unavailable using public IP on a remote host.. i.e. going into Firefox and

Help! I finally got it installed, and now I can't get into SWAT... I go to http://servername:901, and get a 'The connection was refused by the server" Can anybody tell me what dumb thig I'm doing wrong? I really ned to get this thing working tonight... Thanks Charles Marcus

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

I'm trying to learn Samba on a Linux 7.0 box. I've just installed Samba 2.0.7. I've been able to run all the tests in DIAGNOSIS.TXT, manually edit the smb.conf file, and I can even see some folders on the Samba server from a Windows 98 machine on my LAN. But I am unable to run SWAT on the Samba Server (or from any other computer on my LAN). Every time I enter http://localhost: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 +=

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

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

Okay, here's what you need to do. You have to configure apache. This won't be too hard. You will need to edit the httpd.conf located in /etc/httpd/conf directory. Look through the httpd.conf file until you find this line: #Servername localhost It may or may not have the # in front of it. You need to edit this line and make it say: Servername yourservernamegoeshere For example,

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.

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

I've installed the rpm's and everything seems to be set up fine. I've been through many documents (even the one on redhat that says i must change localhost to 127.0.0.1 in one of the config files (/etc/xinetd.d/swat). When i direct mozilla to http://localhost:901 I get, "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:901 I think maybe that something is not

Hello, I am a new user of SAMBA. I have a problem in installing SAMBA on our new ALPHA server is that I would like to access the SWAT after install the SAMBA.
