PAM is the plugable authentication modules. Some of the distro enable this. First thing, look at /etc/pam.d if the directory exists then you are likekly have the pam system up and running. If not, I made an earlier mistake, the xinetd.d file needs to be name swat. By the way, if you want to access from other host, you can just comment the only_from line.

Did you try localhost:901 from your browser?

Have you checked out your pam.d files. I am not sure, but I thinkthat Red Hat enables Pam.d in the later versions. Also in the xinet.d is the file name samba?

There might be a log called messages.

This might be a firewall issue. What do you see with:
iptables -L | less  ?

Try, as root, iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

This command is only safe if you have this machine behind a firewall or
if it is not connected to the internet.

smbusers.rpmsave i guess an upgrade did that?.. i renamed it to smbusers

Did you restart xinetd?
Have you looked in the logs in /var/log for any clues?

I have RedHat 8.0
I have swat enabled in my xinetd.d config file like this
service swat


{

port = 901

socket_type = stream

wait = no

only_from = localhost

user = root

server = /usr/sbin/swat

log_on_failure += USERID

disable = no

}


I have a firewall/router ...not to sure about firewalls but don't think its the problem as it works for my windows boxes upstairs and I believe it accepts all local area traffic


my hosts file is simple

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

192.168.1.1 linux8.puterland.ca linux8



tried changing the only_from line from localhost to 192.168.1.0/24

no work

it says

"the connection was refused when attempting to contact 192.168.1.1:901"

any ideas?
