Mike,
   Connect to swat from the Samba machine using the Linux browser, not
across your network.

   On the samba PC, start Mozilla or whatever you use, then go to

http://localhost:901

and see if you get better results.

   It's possible that you have a firewall blocking port 901. Make sure your
firewall (if enabled) allows that connection.

Mark

Subject: Re: [Samba] SWAT, where ? Got it, not working :-(


I'll try to list what I've done...

Downloaded and installed the latest Samba (which contains swat).  Installed
it and it seems to work as I can log in to a share with my W2k PC.

As I'm using Red Hat 7.2 this has xinetd so...

Added    swat 901/tcp    into the /etc/services  file

Then created a new file in the /etc/xinet.d  folder and named it  swat

In the swat file I put

{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}

That's it....rebooted a few times, tried to connect from my PC using IE but
can't.  I have another Samba server but it's running SlackWare and uses
inetd so the configuration differs :-(  I get to that one OK using IE/Swat

I have checked that swat is actually in the folder /usr/local/samba/bin and
it does show up in the list of services in KDE but does however say "You
must enable xinetd to run this service"  Maybe I've missed something ?

Thanks

Mike
