samba config
Good afternoon all, I'm setting up a Samba server and I want to configure SWAT. Documentation says to modify your /etc/inetd.conf file so the swat service will start but I don't have a /etc/inetd.conf file. I'm running Linux 7.2 and Samba was installed with the OS. Could someone point me in the right direction or maybe some links to setting up Samba on Linux 7.2.

Re: samba config
I believe that RH 7.0 and above use xinetd instead of inetd, so you will have to use that config file.

The kernel is currently at 2.4.18, so I'm assuming you're referring to some distribution with the current release number of 7.2 (most likely Red Hat, since I think Mandrake and SuSE are both well past that by now) You best bet is to get the official Samba book, obtainable from the Samba website or buy it a local bookstore (I believe it's published by O'Reilly). As for SWAT? Don't know anything about. I avoid GUI admin tools like the plague, *especially* things like SWAT which want to over-write your config file every time you make a simple change. I would definitely check the docs available on your system (check out /usr/docs or /usr/share/docs, etc.) and the official Samba book. -- Seeya, Paul It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing, but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.

Re: samba config
Starting with RH 7.0 they swapped to xinetd from inetd. Provided xinetd itself is installed (rpm -q xinetd) you'll have a directory /etc/xinetd.d in there will be a file named swat. Find this line: disable = yes and change it to disable = no (provided it didn't already say that of course), then restart xinetd itself. service xinetd restart then point your browser at localhost:901 and enjoy. Now, I don't think swat is installed along with Samba by default so you may need to install it yourself. Can't check here as mine is from source --rdp On Mon, 18 Mar 2002, Robert Casey wrote: Good afternoon all, I'm setting up a Samba server and I want to configure SWAT.
