I'll try to list what I've done...
Downloaded and installed the latest Samba (which contains swat). Installed
it and it seems to work as I can log in to a share with my W2k PC.
As I'm using Red Hat 7.2 this has xinetd so...
Added swat 901/tcp into the /etc/services file
Then created a new file in the /etc/xinet.d folder and named it swat
In the swat file I put
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
That's it....rebooted a few times, tried to connect from my PC using IE but
can't. I have another Samba server but it's running SlackWare and uses
inetd so the configuration differs :-( I get to that one OK using IE/Swat
I have checked that swat is actually in the folder /usr/local/samba/bin and
it does show up in the list of services in KDE but does however say "You
must enable xinetd to run this service" Maybe I've missed something ?
Thanks
Mike
