Hi,

I want to get Samba running so that any computer on my lan can print to 
the printer connected to the new SuSE 8.0 server. I've never got Samba 
working before, so be gentle with me.  In the past on other linux 
distros I've at least been able to get SWAT to run, but cannot even get 
that far right now.

I used YAST2 to install the samba package. I'd like to get SWAT running 
now so I can use the GUI to edit my smb.conf file, among other things.

So, I've edited /etc/inetd.conf to uncomment the line that says:

swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat

I also see the following line in /etc/services

swat 
	901/tcp		# CONFLICT, not official assigned!

I've edited my /etc/hosts.deny to look like this:

# /etc/hosts.deny
# See `man tcpd´ and `man 5 hosts_access´ as well as /etc/hosts.allow
# for a detailed description.

http-rman : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL
swat: 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.

because I want any local computer (192.168.0.x) to be able to access SWAT.

I've rebooted once to allow inetd to restart but still if I type:

http://localhost:901 or even http://192.168.0.1:901 into mozilla I get a 
pop-up box that says "The connection was refused when attempting to 
connect localhost:901"

Also, if I do a netstat -an I don't see that the server is listening on 
901 at all. Port 901 isn't even mentioned when I type that.

All I want to do is print over the network! Ahhhh! Thanks for any help.
