hello all,

am i supposed to have this file i'm using LM 8.2 and trying to install samba and the tutorial im following says to edit the /etc/inetd.conf ??

the only file similar to this in /etc is xinetd.conf

and i have a xinetd process running --> is this the file i should be using instead of inetd.conf ??

the syntax of what i should be adding is totally different to that of the xinetd.conf


see syntax below of what i am trying to add if any1 can help pls:
-----
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat
-----

have already edited /etc/services with

-----
swat 901/tcp
-----


thanx heaps


goofy

yes, you are on xinetd, so that conf file is now split up into a number of files in /etc/xinetd.d/

so which file do i use i have no idea


thanx

presumabnly /etc/xinetd.d/swat

the file isn't actually different, it's just laid out clearly, as opposed to the old system

sorry but i have little idea about this

do i have to create swat file and can u help with the syntax ??



thanx

Take a look here http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/No...ticle175.shtml, and particularly for swat you can find example of teh /etc/xinet.d/swat file herehttp://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/bookshelf/articles/Samba.html
