Hello:
I have samba-2.2.5-1 running in RedHat 7.3, but I get the page cannot be
displayed message when I go to http://sambaserver:901
My /etc/etc/xinetd.d/swat file looks as below. I have removed only_from =
localhost and changed disable = yes to no
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = No
}
I do have tcp/901 defined in the /etc/services
The following URL at redhat site there is some bug
http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/gotchas/7.0/gotchas-7-7.html
7.3 SWAT doesn't work with the xinetd default configuration
I have installed SWAT along with Samba, but it does not work. I have
configured it properly via xinetd, but it does not respond to connection
attempts on port 901, even from the local machine.
There is a bug in the internal tcpwrappers functionality of xinetd. The
problem is known and is being worked on. In the meantime, you can change
this line in the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file:
only_from = localhost
to
only_from = 127.0.0.1
That should allow SWAT to function normally.
Any one has any idea???
Thanks,
Kailash
