Enabling SWAT

I'm having a problem enabling SWAT. I've followed the directions that I 
was able to find on the net. One of the step, however, eludes me:

> Edit file "/etc/inetd.conf". Add the following line if it isn't already 
> there.
> swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
> Note: If you have the program "swat" installed somewhere other than "/usr/
> sbin", then change "/usr/sbin/swat" to be the correct path to "swat".

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a file called "inetd.conf" in the /etc 
dir, or anywhere else on the system. I've tried this on Red Hat Linux 7, 7.
2, and Linux Mandrake 8.1. What are the steps necessary to activate SWAT?

Trying to weed through the docs when all the direction that I get from the 
installer is to read "/swat/README" when there are tens of readme files is 
somewhat disconcerting....

Thanks in advance..
