Linux Visibility on Microsoft Network

[Wesa, Richard (GE Consumer & Industrial)]

Rick,
I have done as you requested. Still can't use the server. I have a feeling that I must join the server to our domain.
I have not found a command line function to do that yet.
Thanks
Richard

NO!  Take that out of the file!  That was just a command to make xinetd
see the change in the file.  /etc/xinetd.d/swat should read (after your
changes):
------------------------ CUT HERE -----------------------------------
# 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 = no
         port            = 901
         socket_type     = stream
         wait            = no
         only_from       = 127.0.0.1
         user            = root
         server          = /usr/sbin/swat
         log_on_failure  += USERID
}
----------------------- CUT HERE -------------------------------------
You enter the command

	kill -HUP `pidof xinetd`

at the "#" command prompt to make xinetd see the modified file.  Sorry I
didn't make that clearer.

Now, if that's done, you should be able to bring up your browser and
hit "http://localhost:901" and see the swat login screen.  Log in as the
root user and start modifying configuring your stuff.

Any change to smb.conf must be followed by restarting both the nmbd and
smbd daemons.  You can do that by entering:

	/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba restart

at the "#" command prompt.  If you make these changes via swat's
"shares" screen, you must also tell swat to restart the daemons by going
to swat's "Status" screen and clicking on the "Restart nmbd" and
"Restart smbd" buttons.
