samba swat and 7.3 redhat

[doggiebone]

Hi guys

just a quick one. I cant seem to get swat to work in my browser :-\ However I have read there is bug in the tcpwrappers if memory servers me right.

If anyone has got swat to work with redhat 7.3 2.4.18.4 kernel
please let me know. Currently using webmin but would like to use swat, just seems more user friendly.

Red Hat disables unecessary services by default. This makes for a more secure install for newbies.

Edit the file /etc/xinetd.d/swat set "disable = no"

hi jim

thing I noticed when i looked in the etc/xinetd.d/swat the swat file does not exist do I need to compile swat and install it? I'm using samba 2.2.3a but its not configured yet.

If that file doesn't exist then you don't have swat installed.

$ rpm -q samba-swat
samba-swat-2.2.3a-6

hi jim

thats my problem, I'll look into installing swat. when samba is installed, do i have to go into the samba folder and put the arguments you gave me?

Yes, you still have to edit /etc/xinetd.d/swat

hi jim

configured the etc/xinetd.d/swat file. After installing samba-swat-2.2.3a-6.

I entered http://localhost:901/ I get the "an error occrured while loading http://localhost:901/: could not connect to the host localhost (port 901)

I'm kinda stumped

You have to restart xinetd after editing any files in /etc/xinetd.d.

/sbin/service xinetd restart
