swat question

[Dutch Mafia-boy.]

I'm trying to get swat to work....

Do you type in http://localhost:901 at Netscape or Mozilla.....when I do that, it comes up with internet errors.

When I do it from a window ie) home it says "Could not connect to host localhost (901)"

Is there a inetd.conf in Redhat 7.3 (which I'm using) ??

Do I have to enable it somewhere else?? or mark out a comment......??

Thanks

before you use swat the first time you need to do some configuration....

in /etc/services, add this line:
swat 901/tcp #samba web admin tool

in the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file:
disable = no

then restart your xinetd start-up script:
# /etc/init.d/xinetd restart

Thanks a million....

After I posted that message, I found out how to make a file called "swat" in the xinetd and configure that file on another website....exactly what you guys suggested....

but unfortunately, it still doesn't work. I don't have Samba running.....Does Samba daemon need to be running when you try to access SWAT??

OK. at my last count you now have three simultaneous threads going on the the same topic. Please stick to one of them only; cross/double posting is a time-waster for all of us, including you.

I'd settle for use of the search button for this site, maybe the same posts won't happen over and over....
