Frits, Check your /etc/services and add the following line if not already there: swat 901/tcp Also make sure that inetd is running: type the following command: ps -ef|grep inetd and if it is running, you should see something like the following, with possibly different PID: root 966 1 0 Nov24 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/inetd If inetd is not running, then you need to start it. Go to YaST control center, choose System, then choose Run Level Editor, and there, choose "properties" and find the inetd there. Select that and then click on Start button, and finally Finish. Hopefully all should work then. Let me know if it still doesn't work. Ali. On Thursday 28 November 2002 15:44, Frits Wüthrich wrote:
It was indeed commented out. I never changed that setting, so that must have been the default on my SuSE8.1 system. I removed the # and saved the inetd.conf swat is indeed where you said it was, which is also the line in the inetd.conf file.
Now I restarted my PC, but it still doesn't work. I am a newbie after all. Do I need to run some sort of configuration now?
