Yeech, no. That's for samba, but swat is run via inetd. Also
this command is far better:
chkconfig --level 345 smb on

There was absolutely no need to reboot. There is hardly ever any
need to reboot a linux box - this is NOT microslop land!
To restart samba and inetd do this:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart
(or use the new /sbin/service command instead). Or just send
them a HUP signal with the kill/killall command.

Do you *really* understand what is going on here?
Doing this:
netscape http://localhost:901
is telling netscape to connect to a web server listening to port 901
on the LOCAL HOST (ie, your own workstation). No need to go
anywhere else to find it.
If you don't understand this, then you are out of your depth and
you have a lot of basic networking concepts to come to grips
with. (like the concept of client-server) (That's ok though,
what's great about linux is that it teaches you about things like
this).

Yes. It comes with samba is in /usr/sbin/swat by default.
