[Samba] SWAT

[Todd Knauer]

You didn't answer all of the other questions.  And if you did do all of
the other steps I mentioned I have a couple of more questions.  What
does "tail /var/log/messages" and "tail /var/log/secure" say after
trying and failing to connect?  Also, you didn't happen to mess with
your /etc/pam.d/* files did you?  I had a buddy who had a similar
problem and I found out he was messing with winbind and incorrectly made
changes to /etc/pam.d/samba.  Once I changed that file back to it's
original state, swat worked fine.

    Is the service turned on (/sbin/chkconfig swat on)? Is xinetd actually
    running (ps auxw | grep xinetd)? Did you reload it after adding
    swat/samba (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd reload)?  Do you have a firewall set
    up on that box (ipchains/iptables) and if so are you allowing the samba
    port (901)?  And finally are you trying to connect to port 901 with your
    browser (http://yoursambaserver:901)?

        I have installed the binary version of samba-2.2.3a for RH7.2  and checked /etc/services that swat is located there. I have also set up the swat file in xinetd.d. When I tried to use swat with my browser nothing comes up. What am I doing wrong?

        Having just gone through a bunch of documentation on this topic, and
        actually having used a .src.rpm to good effect, this is not quite 
        correct.
        
        kernel-2.4.7-10.src.rpm is the package you would use to rebuild the
        various binary kernel-2.4.7-10.xxx.rpms. It puts the sources in 
        /usr/src/redhat/SOURCE/... which is the work area for the rpm build
        suite. If you play with them there, you mess up the rpm build area.
        Normally, you do NOT want to drag in the .src.rpms!
        
        kernel-source-2.4.7-10.i386.rpm and kernel-headers-2.4.7-10.i386.rpm
        (note the .i386.) are the distributed sources that you can use to
        build a custom kernel
        
        NOTE: Red Hat has put out a number of kernel updates. The most recent 
        is 2.4.9-21. You can get them from ftp.redhat.com under 
        /pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/* or from updates.redhat.com 
        /7.2/en/os/*. You may have to update some other packages if you
        update your kernel.
        
        If you want to live dangerously, check out /pub/redhat/linux/rawhide
        on ftp.redhat.com...
