Yes you have.
Networkservices, xinetd have to have swat enabled, *and* it has to have
a port assigned, which is 901. swats default port.
/etc/xinetd.d
----------------------
# SWAT is the Samba Web Administration Tool.
service smpnameres
{
enable = yes
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
only_from = 127.0.0.1
log_on_failure = USERID
}
if smpnameres does not activate the port, replace it with swat...
