SWAT help

Jase · 11-24-2001, 12:23 PM

I couldn't find anything already posted on this thread to help me out so I figured I would start a new thread.

system:
2.4.9-ac4 SMP kernal (RedHate 7.1)
samba 2.2.2

These are the changes I made to the system.

1.) Compiled and installed the source (which installs swat as well correct?)

2.) Added this line to my /etc/services file

Code:

swat            901/tcp                         # Samba Web Administration Tool

3.) I am running xinetd not inetd so I had to make a file in the /etc/xinetd.d directory called "swat". In that file I put,..

Code:

service swat 
{ 
        port    = 901 
        socket_type     = stream 
        wait    = no 
        user    = root 
        server  = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat 
        log_on_failure  += USERID 
        disable = no 
}

Problems:
1.) /sbin/chkconfig --list - xinetd list swat as being on
2.) netstat lists swat as listening

Code:

tcp        0      0 *:swat                  *:*                     LISTEN

3.) http://localhost:901 does not work. Just an general error message.
4.) No firewalling is on.

I hope I have supplied enough information for someone to help. I am really lost on this one fellas.

TIA - Jase

hmmm,.....I think I had an .rpm version of samba 2.0 installed before I installed the source of 2.2.2 How can I remove both of these veriosns and install the clean/new 2.2.2 source?

I just checked my system mail and got this,...

"Port Denial noted swat-192.168.1.30"

and also

"Port Denial noted swat-127.0.0.1"

Why would swat be denying this port? Like I said before,...no firewalling is enabled

Is the web server running?

You need to setup and run httpd to use a web server.

If you still have problems try

hostname

or

echo $HOSTNAME

this should show a hostname
then use it like this

http://hostname:901

thanks David,...I got it to work. One more question though. I want to get rid of this install of samba and reinstall it. How can I get rid any and all previous/current samba installs?

rpm -e packagename

if it's not an rpm you will have to delete it

search for smbd, nmbd, samba, smb

these should turn up whatever you have
