Hi,
As alluded to by marsd, the most common problem with swat on redhat is that it is disabled by default at the time of install (i.e. just installing the samba-swat rpm is not enough). You need to activate it under xinetd as root with the command :
/sbin/chkconfig swat on
By default it will only work from the localhost, i.e. or
You should get a login prompt appear and you would sign-in as root with the root password.
It is also necessary to have xinetd running in the first place.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
Hope this helps
