similar to: SWAT login fails

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.

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,

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

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 +=

Im trying to enable the swat utility so that I can manipulate the smb.conf file. I have done this on my PowerMac G4 computer, and now Im trying to set it up on my iBook - but it gives me the following error, xinetd[pid]: bind failed (address already in use (errno = 48). service = swat xinetd[pid]: {init_services} no services. Exiting... I have no idea what is going on, Im doing

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

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

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.

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,

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

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

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

[ Please would anyone replying to this maintain the Cc list here as my dear colleague is not subscribed to this mailing list. ] Hello all, I am trying to track down an oddity with winbindd. We're using samba only to join a given domain -- so the config file is very minimal, as per: [global] workgroup = TEDDYBEARS netbios name = SMOOTHWALL realm = TEDDYBEARS.LOCAL security = ads

I'm using Suse 9.1 professional. I've got Samba *almost* up and running. But, I'm a newbie and need Swat to configure a few things. I've gone to /etc/services and made sure that I have the entry "swat 901/tcp" I have checked /etc/xinetd.d/swat and added "port = 901" and changed it to "disable = no" I have gone through the steps in the

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

I have a network with RH7.2 (netbois name "server"), Mandrake 8.1 ("Linuxbox"), Smoothwall ("Smoothwall"), WinNT ("di-bosco"), Win 98 ("robertw" & "Nicole") x 2 and Win 2k ("DiBosco2k"). Smoothwall is the DHCP server. Why would it be that all the Windows machines can ping to a netbios name, eg ping server, ping Linuxbox

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

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

The only docs I found on getting SWAT to run, showed editing the inetd.conf file. As this version of RH (7.3) only uses xinetd things don't fit exactly. I have gone through and did everything that one should do for inetd and it still will not work. I don't normally use the thing, but this client will need the more simplistic interface to add shares, etc.
