SWAT

[Ryan Detert]

hmmm, come to think of it, my SWAT doesn't work either.. i made the 
recommended change and also try to set 'disable' to 'no'.

Restarted the xinetd and everything but nothing works... having trouble 
installing netatalk as well on RH7, can't get anything to compile, not 
even the kernel!
