Upograde from 2.2a3 to 2.2.0 woes

Hi all,

Help!  I am on site out-of-state (leaving TOMORROW afternoon), installing one of
our LTS servers, and can't get samba working after trying to upgrade to 2.2.0...

I was hoping that upgrading might solve my problems with the win2K workstations,
but now I can't connect at all through swat.

I am getting the following error when going to http://localhost:901:

400 Server Error
chdir failed - the server is not configured correctly

I'm running Redhat 7.0 (upgraded with most 7.1 patches)
previous 2.2a3 was running fine.

I stopped both smb and nmb before upgrading using the Redhat 7.0 rpm from the
samba site, using rpm -Uvh <samba...>, and it seemed to upgrade fine - had a
couple of errors about 'unable to delete directory', but nothing fatal.

I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling samba (rpm -e samba.../rpm -Uvh
samba...), all to no avail...

Both smb and nmb are running, and I have the following in /etc/xinetd.d/swat

service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
#only_from = localhost
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure = USERID
# disable = yes
}

Weirdly enough, before I uninstalled and reinstalled samba, there ws an
additional line at the top:

service swat
{
# disable = no
...

Also, the following is my smb.conf after clean install:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from lts-dublin (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2001/04/18 17:36:14
 
# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = MEDIA-BROKERS
        server string = Samba Server
        security = SHARE
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        restrict anonymous = Yes
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        dns proxy = No
        wins server = 192.168.0.254
 
[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

Where is this supposed to be?  It is currently in /etc/samba/

Help! this was working fine before upgrading...
