Author Problems starting swat?

Hello,

I am a newbie to Samba and am attempting to configure it on my home
network on a system running Fedora. I want to start swat via xinetd. My
/etc/xinetd.d/swat file is as follows:

service swat
{

port = 901
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
only_from = localhost, 192.168.0.105

}
I have confirmed that swat is indeed located in /usr/sbin; However after
rebooting my system, if i do "pgrep swat" I see no process, and if I
attempt to access the swat web page, I get a page not found error..
i tried checking swat under server settings to start automatically, but
this didn't seem to matter.

Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated.

TIA,

Jan Gerrit Kootstra

Al,


Swat will not show itself with pgrep, because it is not running at all. If
you open http://localhost:901 in a browser, xinetd will activate the swat
process if it can do so.

All processes that are named in /etc/xinetd.d are sleeping process that
awakened by xinetd, so you need to check whether or not xinetd is running.


Kind regards,


Jan Gerrit Kootstra
