inetd? Samba/SWAT problem

[BadMotorFinger]

I've been using Linux for about two days, so I'm pretty dumb at this.

Anyway I'm using RedHat 7.1, this machine has a printer I want to share with the Windows boxes on my small home network.
I was attempting to setup Samba according the Samba NHF on this site, all was going well until I got to the part where it says "Next we check the /etc/inetd.conf file for a line that looks like this:

swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat"

My problem is I don't have a /etc/inetd.conf file, in fact I don't have anything named inetd.conf on my hard drive at all. Is this a program I need to download or get off my RH cds?
Any help at all here is welcome.

Redhat 7.1 uses xinetd and not inetd.conf

Anyways to start samba in Redhat, while root, open a console window and type ntsysv. Scroll down and select smb. Exit and reboot. Now samba should start automatically.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply man.
Unfortunately my Linux system is having some serious issues, I think my old Celeron is dying. :(

This is what an xinetd entry for SWAT would look like:

service swat
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
}


You can use itox to convert inetd-style entries to xinetd-style.
