Yes you have.
Networkservices, xinetd have to have swat enabled, *and* it has to have 
a port assigned, which is 901. swats default port.

/etc/xinetd.d
----------------------

# SWAT is the Samba Web Administration Tool.
service smpnameres
{
        enable          = yes
        socket_type     = stream
    protocol        = tcp
    wait            = no
    user            = root
    server          = /usr/sbin/swat
    only_from       = 127.0.0.1
    log_on_failure  = USERID
}

if smpnameres does not activate the port, replace it with swat...
