Im trying to enable the swat utility so that I can manipulate the
smb.conf file. I have done this on my PowerMac G4 computer, and now Im
trying to set it up on my iBook - but it gives me the following error,
xinetd[pid]: bind failed (address already in use (errno = 48).
service = swat
I am not entirely sure of what this error is saying.
That is to say, I don't know what "address" is really referring to.
xinetd, which monitors many ports and starts the
appropriate daemon for each request, thinks it is supposed to be running
swat for you. Which is correct. swat only runs from inet
Well, just guessing now. It may be that root is not an acceptable user.
I am using inetd and so can't directly comment on your configuration. What
happens if you try nobody or a real user not root?
