Well, I just dbl-checked (I'm definitely not what I would call an expert),
and if I issue an 'off' command as above, then check /etc/xinetd.d/swat, it
is set to disable = yes.  Then, if I issue the 'on' command per my above,
this line is changed to disable = no.

So, it appears that you are incorrect - otherwise, please explain what I am
missing.

Thanks

Thats what the command does... it toggles this line in this file.
