I've googled and discovered that others have had this problem, but no one has given sufficient details about how they solved it, so I'm still stuck.
As preface, I'm a high school teacher, and although I teach programming, my sysadmin experience is minimal, so please be explicit in your replies.
I've been following the instructions in the O'Reilly Samba book for configuring, compiling, and installing Samba, but seem to hit a snag when it comes time to get SWAT working.
Is it just me, or has swat moved from /usr/local/samba/bin/swat to /usr/local/samba/sbin/swat in the 3.0 default install? I've tried changing that in the xinetd.d/swat file, and I think it leads to the second error below.
Anyway, I do what it says, and I get "Connection refused" errors when I try to connect to "http://localhost:901";. After playing with things for a while, I managed to get it to say "Document contains no data". I look in the Services panel, and it says swat needs xinetd to run. Meanwhile, xinetd says it's running and has a PID.
I've seen this question several times, but there is no recipe for resolving it anywhere that I can find. A link to a How-To would be great. Failing that, if someone who knows what they're doing has time to step through the RedHat 9.0/Samba 3.0 install, it's clear that the published How-To (both in the O'Reilly book and in the Samba documentation) don't quite work, either because paths have changed or steps were left out. Fixing these would make my life easier and avert a not so inFAQ.
Thanks, Todd
P.S. If I'm doing something really stupid, please let me know.
