Samba errors

     Dear list;
     
     I have been using samba 1.9.18p10 on a Sun Sparc Ultra 2 for about a 
     year.  I use it to share a directory to an NT/95 network.  I now have 
     a Sun Sparc Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.6.  
     
     In order to prepare the Ultra 10 for y2k I downloaded 
     samba-2.0.6-nonis+-sparc-sun-solaris2.6.pkg.gz from 
     http://samba.isca.uiowa.edu/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/solaris/Sparc.
     
     However, I found samba 2.0.6 much more difficult to configure and set 
     up than samba 1.9.18p10.  I ran all the tests in the diagnosing your 
     samba server help file. They all worked.
     
     Users can connect and map drives but I now have two problems:
     
     1.  I set up swat but am unable to access any of the html help 
     documents via my browser.  When I click on any hyper text link the 
     browser opens a new window with the swat home page.
     
     2.  In my system console window I receive the following errors all day 
     long.

     Here are the lines from /etc/services and etc/inetd.conf:

     Can anyone help me?
     
     Thank you,
