SWAT Problem not opening port 901

Hi,

I'm pretty new to samba and swat. I've got samba installed and working, but the problem lies with swat.
My config looks like this:

CODE

service swat
{
    disable    = no
    port    = 901
    socket_type    = stream
    wait     = no
    only_from = 127.0.0.1
    user    = root
    server    = /usr/sbin/swat
    log_on_failure    += USERID
}
But I get a "connection was refused trying to connect to http://localhost:901" -message.

If I run samba and then check nmap localhost port 901 is closed.
Do I have to start or run swat as a service, because when I enter "swat start" after a few minutes it gives me a alarm clock.

Hope someone can help me !!!
Thanks,

Peter

My (working) config:
#/etc/inetd.conf
swat    stream  tcp     nowait.400      root    /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat

#/etc/services
swat    901/tcp

Hope This Helps, PH.

I'm sorry,

I've got the services set the same way, but I haven't got the inetd.conf file.
What I do have is /etc/xinetd.conf containing this:

CODE


defaults
{
    instances               = 60
        log_type                = SYSLOG authpriv
        log_on_success        = HOST PID
        log_on_failure        = HOST
    cps            = 25 30
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d

swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
So I guess that's pretty much the same as you do..
Hope you can help me.

No firewall issue ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Firewall is shut down..
I've read somewhere that when you're using xinetd you need some extra script? Does this help?

Sorry, I'm a legacy unix guy (I don't know anything about xinetd)

You should just have it on one.
On my Slackware and AIX systems, we have port 901 defined in /etc/services
swat     901/tcp

And started from inetd with entry in inetd.conf
swat     stream   tcp  nowait.400  root  /usr/sbin/swat  swat

This is exactly what you have.
Have you tried commenting it out of xinetd.conf
Make sure the path to swat is correct in inetd.conf
Stop and start inetd
