I tried getting Swat to work just last night, and I succeeded in the end! 
Here's my /etc/xinetd.d/swat file:

### Begin /etc/xinetd.d/swat
service swat
{
         disable = no
         port    = 901
         socket_type = stream
         wait    = no
         user    = root
         server  = /usr/sbin/swat
         server_args = -s /etc/samba/smb.conf
}
### End /etc/xinetd.d/swat

I also had to turn off the local proxy server settings in Netscape, as it 
needs a direct connection to the local machine. It took me longer than it 
should have to realise that. ;) I'm no Samba expert, but I got Swat to 
work, which is why I'm offering you my configuration. And just for the 
record, I'm using RedHat 7.1 with Samba 2.2.2-20011013. I hope this helps!
