[Samba] Cannot access SWAT on Redhat 8.0

[Laura West]

Hello,

I would like to use Swat to configure Samba. I installed the Redhat
Samba package from samba.org and entered swat into my /etc/services
file. I am frankly a little confused. I am reading O'Reily's "Red Hat
Linux" it says to issue commands "chkconfig xinetd on", "chkconfig swat
on", and finally "xinetd reload". On the third command fails. When I
try and point my browser to "localhost:901" it says "cannot connect".

Can anyone give me some tips?

Laura

I asked about this a week ago; here the response i got; did i get it
running? I will only say that i got SAMBA running, but not swat.
here is the name of the swat RPM that you will need to install from disk 3
of the set for RH8.0.
Its on CD3 and the package is called;

samba-swat-2.2.5-10.i386.rpm

Let me know if you can get it running; it kept asking me for a newer version
of samba when i had the newest.

Thanks,
David

Hi!

You can not run swat as a service (chkconfig swat on)
Edit the following file /etc/xinetd.d/swat to look like this:
# default: off
# 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
{
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
}

after this start xinetd:
/etc/init.d/xinetd start

You can enable/disable services with the setup program. Run it as root.
All installed services are listed in the service menu.


Good luck.
