[Samba] SWAT

[Stephen Carville]

On the server try:

# telnet localhost 901

If you get a connection, then swat is running.  If you do not get a
connection, check the file /etc/xinetd.d/swat for the line:

   disable = yes

change this to:

   disable = no

Reload xinetd

# service xinetd reload <= AFAIK this Redhat only but you get the idea

- 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)?

-     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...
