In addition to the commands you already used, this will tell you 
everything associated with swat.

Oddly, the man page for "strings" is a part of the "man-pages" rpm, 
rather than the binutils (I think) that contains "strings".

You didn't need to do that, and should remove the files that you copied.

The samba-swat rpm contains an xinetd file, which should be 
/etc/xinetd.d/swat.  You can enable swat with "chkconfig swat on".

Remove the lines that you added to xinetd.conf, as they may conflict 
with the file contained in the samba-swat package.

It will after you remove the section you added, and use "chkconfig" to 
enable swat. :)
