The line in /etc/services should look like:
swat 901/tcp # Samba Web Administration Tool
The xinetd control file is "/etc/xinetd.d/swat". Here are the default
contents:
# default: off
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
# to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
# connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
service swat
{
disable = yes
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = 127.0.0.1
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
}
Again, change
disable = yes
to
disable = no
and "kill -HUP `pidof xinetd`". Swat should now be listening. Try
doing a "netstat -lpn | grep 901". You should see xinetd listening on
TCP port 901 at that point, and swat should be ready to go.
Note that "only_from" line, meaning you can ONLY access swat from a
mozilla on the same machine that swat is running on. When you browse
"http://localhost:901", you'll be presented with a login screen. Log
in as the root user and you should be good to go.
