xinetd.conf is very different to inetd.conf. Rather than editing the
xinetd.conf file directly, put the details of the service into a file
in /etc/xinetd.d/ and format it like this:

# default: on
# description:  swat configures samba
service swat
{
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        port            = 901
        type            = UNLISTED
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/sbin/swat
        server_args     = swat
        disable         = no
}

then restart xinetd (service xinetd restart) and try again.

Note, this is untested. You may need to check the xinetd.conf manual
page to make sure the above is formatted correctly.

Cheers,
Waider.
