I have my swat file set to
only_from = localhost

Then logging in with <http://localhost:901> should work OK. 
Incidentally, the swat file in an xinetd setup is typically located in 
/etc/xinetd.d. I know very little about inetd environments, but there's 
a pretty good discussion of swat enabling in O'Reilly's _Using Samba_ 
(Ts, Eckstein, Collier-Brown), beginning on pg 52. This discussion 
includes the inetd environment.
