I've observed that if I try to start up the Samba configuration tool SWAT in a web browser (any one), I get the message "Could not connect to host localhost (port 901)." What's both odd and interesting, however, is that if I do:
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
This really looks like you don't have xinetd starting when you boot the machine. I would check there first.
Just to check issue /etc/init.d/xinetd status before you issue the restart command.
Just did that, and indeed, xinetd is unused. Thanks, Ken. Now the question is: What's the cleanest way to get SWAT going? I could, of course, just ensure that xinetd is started on bootup. But is there a better approach, given that I might not need xinetd's other functions? I'm particularly interested in doing it in a way that would survive a system upgrade. Paul Abrahams
