socket: Protocol not supported

I've seen this question asked, but not answered in the archives, so I 
need to try again.

I've installed samba 2.2.0 on two different systems, both running the 
same version of Solaris. (SunOS 5.6). One machine was an upgrade from an 
earlier samba version, and I've had no problems. On the new install, 
I've been unable to get swat to work.

I've added the following line to /etc/services:
swat 
901/tcp 
	# Samba Manager

and to inetd.conf:

swat 
stream   tcp   nowait   root   /usr/local/samba/bin/swat  swat


restarting inetd produces the following error in messages:

inetd[131]: swat/tcp:  socket: Protocol not supported

and of course attempting to connect to port 901 on this server gives a 
connection refused error.

Thanks for any help...
