Things are still not work out for me. Here is what I did:
1) Install Samba server from redhat cd.
2) Add 'swat 901/tcp' to /etc/services.
3) Add ' swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat' to /etc/inetd.conf.
4) Use command 'ntsysv --level 35' to enable smb at boot time.
5) Reboot and login as root.
6) Point Netscape to 'http://localhost:901'.
The result was still that the browser went to netscape's site and start search there
and returned with 'cann't find localhast901'.
I checked swat's man page. It mentions something about after compiling SWAT we need to
run "make install" to install. I am confused here. Is swat installed already after
installing samba?
What did I do wrong?
Is there a way I can test if the inetd is listening?
Thank you very much.
