SWAT file missing from /etc/xinetd.d

[chasman]

:confused:

TIA for any help that any of you can lend me!

I am trying to use SWAT, but when I look in /etc/xinetd.d there is not a swat file listed. I am using RH 8.0 and WebMin works great, but for whatever reason the swat file is nowhere to be found on the hard drive. Any ideas?

Assuming that you do have swat installed, you can try creating the file and paste this in...

service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = 127.0.0.1
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
# disable = yes
}

[chasman]

I had thought of that, but I was a little nervous about trying it! Does SWAT have to be installed first? I thought it was installed automatically when you chose the option to install samba....
I looked on the 2nd install cd and did not see an rpm - do I have to download it?

Thanks,

Your distro may not install it automatically. The file that you want may be called samba-swat or something like that.

I believe you didn't enable SWAT b/c most of the time, especially with RED HAT SWAT is automatically installed.

TRY THIS: (Taken from RED HAT LINUX 7.3 BIBLE)

1. In /etc/services, make sure that the following line exists. This assigns the swat service to port 901, using the TCP protocol.

swat 901/tcp # Sama Web Administration Tool

2. In the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file, you need to change the disable line from yes to no. This is how the line should appear after that.

diable = no

3. For the changes to xinetd and /etc/services to take effect, you restart the xinetd start-up script as follows:

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

When you have finished type this into your favorite web-browser...

http://localhost:901:/

*Obviously change localhost to whatever your hostname might be...

Hope that helps!
