Has this question been answered as of yet (I couldn't find a reply when I
searched)...

I'm having the same problem with SAMBA_2_2 cvs install on redhat 7.0
(2.2.16-22)

I've setup my xinetd.d/swat file as follows:
-----begin--------
[root at bergamo xinetd.d]# cat swat
# default: off
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
#              to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
#              connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
service swat
{
        port    = 901
        socket_type     = stream
        wait    = no
        ##ej##only_from = localhost
        user = root
        ##ej##server    = /usr/sbin/swat
        server = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        ##ej##disable = yes
}
[root at bergamo xinetd.d]#
----------------

I then restart xinetd and try connecting http://127.0.0.1:901/..

But it fails from the localhost and any other machine/browser...  I can't
even find a log of what's happening.

It did work with the initial RPM 2.0.7 install which I removed prior to
installing the CVS downloaded 2.2 samba version.

Any help will be appreciated - Ed Jackson
