I have an Apple iBook 500 running mac OS 10.2 jaguar, and am trying to configure my samba server. I thought I could use swat first and then tweak the file afterwards.

I have already got swat to work on my tower machine, which has the same OS - but cannot for my life get it to work on the laptop even though im taking exactly the same steps to enable swat...!!!!

Im using xinetd to start the service and here is the configuration for swat.....

service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
groups = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
server_args = -s /etc/smb.conf
disable = No
}

It doesn't work on the tower if I remove the server_args line...

I use the same config. for the laptop, and I get the internet explorer error message stating that the attempt to load failed when I do http://localhost:901. If I use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost I get a html page saying,

400 Server Error
chdir failed - the server is not configured correctly

I don't now what Im doing wrong. ( I have enabled the service [swat 901/tcp], and created the file /etc/xinetd.d/swat and pasted the config. stuff above....

Can someone please help, Im quite new to unix.
Thank you very much in advance.
Ian
