SWAT

[cherokee]

Hello everyone,

I have working my SAMBA server in a wireless network... very nice!.
I can share files/directories... in Linux with my Windows clients with no problem but, even they(Windows clients) can see my printers in Linux, printing does not work.

I am trying to install SWAT but, I do not know how. I chcecked my files in my Linux machine and I have not a single SWAT file anywhere. SWAT needs to be installed separatly from Samba? , how can I use "http://127.0.0.0:901". I try it and get " The connextion was refused when attemting to contact 127.0.0.0:901.

I'll appreciate your inputs.

Carlos

Cherokee,

Try this link. You'll have to edit the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file to enable SWAT. Then you'll have to restart xinetd. "/etc/init.d/xinetd restart"

Hope this helps.

Hi ... thanks for your help.

I did that already before and still getting the same error.

this is my swat file in etc/xinetd.d/swat
#swat
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

}

Is there any installation procedure for SWAT?

In RedHat/Fedora you need to install a separate RPM called samba-swat. You could doublecheck the installation.

Try to telnet to port 901 like this:

# telnet 127.0.0.1 901

You should get a connection, if not check if you are running a firewall product that could be disabling access to 127.0.0.1.

You can also use the "netstat -nr | grep 901" command to see whether your server is listening on port 901.

Check /var/log/messages for any unusual SWAT or xinetd errors.

Thanks for your help.

SWAT is working....
I managed install SWAT. I had to take it form my CD3 samba-swat.rpm and install it.

Thanks
