Had Ubuntu 7.04 == Samba was installed but did not work -- That said firefox localhost:901 used to work.
Dumped 7.04 and loaded ubuntu 8.04 and then loaded Samba. Samba now works nicely, but firefox localhost:901 fails.
I'm a newbie and the firewall is as it installed several hours ago.
How would I go about discovering if Samba/SWAT is listening on port 901?
In a nutshell swat is a web server application to setup the smb.conf file and it runs from xinetd. You need to verify if swat is installed, configured and if xinted has been started.
Whoops Didn't mean to step on MichaelKs post
Thanks to both of you
Sambas up, SWAT is up and I'm off and learning
The commands went into notes and the Site is bookmarked
Thanks again
