So a "/etc/rc.d/rc.samba start" fails? Or if it's just not started after boot, do you have a symlink in your rc5.d or whatever runlevel you start in? In RH/SuSE systems this is done with chkconfig, not sure what tool Slackware uses for its "runlevel management". > Also, where is swat started from ?
