SWAT Connection to 127.0.0.1:901 refused

Wierd.

Is swat listening at all.

netstat -an | grep 901

netstat: i type it - and it said nothing - just returned me to the prompt - is it listening then - i assume yes as it did not say no !

[JimH]

If swat is listening it will return.

# netstat -an | grep 901
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

If it returns nothing them swat isn't running.

i tried starting swat and notice i have a another service called swat.rpmnew (is this the one i installed i think) - and they are not started
it depends on xinetd - so restarted this again and it confirms that it has restarted but still swat will not start

i think this may help ?

[JimH]

netstat -ap | grep swat

rpm -qa | grep samba

ll /etc/xinetd.d/swat*

the netstat revealed nothing (no reply - so i now assume it is NOT running)
the rpm -qa | grep samba line gave
samba-common-2.2.1a-4
samba-client-2.2.1a-4
samba-2.2.1a-4
samba-swat-2.2.1a-4

i did not understand the || /etc/xinetd.d/swat* line

thanks for your help Jim, this is te second install of Linux - and last time i did not realise that swat was a separate install (or is it?) and i did have the same problem before - connecton refused) - any ideas how i can find out how to solve this ?

That is two small letter L's not two | <--pipe symbols.

ll is an alias for ls -l

ls -l /etc/xinetd.d/swat*
