Distro

[Robert Meyer]

'inetd.conf' only works if you're using 'inetd', not 'xinetd'.  If you have
'xinetd', you have to create a file called 'swat' in /etc/xinetd.d and put in
the right options:

# default: on
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
#              to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
#              connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
service swat
{
        port    = 901
        socket_type     = stream
        wait    = no
        only_from = localhost
        user    = root
        server  = /usr/sbin/swat
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable = no
}

So there! PTHPTHPTHPTH!! :-P
:-)

Cheers!
