etc/xinetd.d/swat is configured as
#chkconfig: 35 20 80
#description: SWAT
service swat
{
disable = no
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = localhost
user = root
log_on_failure += USERID
)
I have run chkconfig (and added the swat lines above as result and still no
joy
:-(
As to firewall tools, any suggestions for a reasonably straightforward
'starter pack'?
Kind Regards
Mr Ashley Kitson
