strange, I haven't had any problems with xinetd.. perhaps you should remove and reinstall it. only two rpm commands necessary.. and it might fix it..
I use xinetd for pop3 (with only_from specified) and its never caused a problem, so give it a go. I don't actually like Swat or Webmin for configuring samba. but if you get the cooker samba, (I have been using samba 2.2.2-6mdk on mdk8.1 for ages now without problem) it does some cool stuff that 8.1 samba doesn't.. and its really easy to just read smb.conf it is so commented that just a quick read and minor config will have samba up and jumping in a jiffy.) Good stuff, I will never use swat or webmin for it again. rgds Frank. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ken Nowack Sent: Tuesday, 1 January 2002 7:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] samba and SWAT and webmin and MCC Ok, now we're at least getting somewhere. I went to the doc you specify. Swat was already enabled. So I figure, hey, why don't I try to restart xinted anyway, just to be sure it's running properly. service xinetd status: xinetd stopped Ok now that's odd. The services list in the MCC list it as running. (Ya know, the more I work with this system, the more I realize I have GOT to stop using that MCC for anything) Ok, fine, start xinetd. service xinetd start: Starting xinetd: [OK] touch: creating '/var/lock/subsys/xinetd': Permission denied And still, no dice whatsoever. Cannot connect to localhost port:901 (bangs his face on the keyboard) Umm, I'd really like to use swat. But, I give up. Could you go ahead and send the smb.conf file you use to me Dave? I was hoping to get a basic config written using swat and then alter as needed to fine tune. But I guess this way works just as well. It's not that I mind doing things by hand, it just bugs the crap out of me when things don't work.
