xinetd is really not all that different than inetd. It uses a different configuration syntax, and has more features, but the basic idea is the same: Listen on behalf of multiple services, and only start the actual service program when a request is received. In the case of xinetd, look at the /etc/xinetd.conf file and in the /etc/xinetd.d directory. If your distro packaged swat for you, there should already be an entry for it. Turning it on should be reasonably self-evident. If your distro did not package SWAT for you, you will have to create an xinetd configuration entry for it. "man xinetd.conf" has all the gory details. Sorry for the fuzzy answer, but at work I run RHL 6.2, and at home I run distro-of-the-month (currently Mandrake 8.0). -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
