where's my inetd.conf?

Hi

I'm trying to config Samba with SWAT and I'm supposed to edit the inetd.conf in /etc/ but there is none, as far as I can tell there isn't one on the whole system.

How do I get/make/put this file there

You don't.

Your system almost certainly uses xinetd. That's a more modern, and much better replacement for inetd (and the "x" stands for "extended"; nothing to do with "X")

See http://aplawrence.com/Basics/xinetd.html

I forgot to add this to configure for xinetd

# SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool.
service swat
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
only_from = 127.0.0.1
disable = yes
}

i think you want
disable = no
not
disable = yes

or you have swat disabled...

that's why i hate xinetd... inetd is just easier...
go slack.

Thanks pcunix

My wife found the xinetd for me, (I have no idea why she married me) your added lines is just what I needed. I also found that SWAT was not enabled in services
