FWD: Configuring Swat

Hi Sean,
I had this problem when I upgraded our servers to RedHat 7. In RedHat 7
they changed from running the inetd.d to running xinetd.d. This is the
daemon that figures out what programs to start when a port is accessed.
Port 901 is for swat, this is configured in your /etc/services file. In the
/etc/xinetd.d/ directory you'll find a file called swat. Edit this file so
it looks like this:
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
}
The swat service is disabled by default. This will enable it. Also, be
sure to to restart the xinetd.d or else you will be left scratching your
head, wondering why I gave you bum scoop. :-) You can restart xinetd.d by
running this command. (You should be doing all of this as root, btw.)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
That should get you running SWAT. If you have any other questions, feel
free to email me at russb at kfoc.net
cheers,
Russ
