SWAT Problem not opening port 901

[Pietjeparasietje]

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:

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:

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 ?

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
