You also need an /etc/xinet.d/swat configuration file. Your system might have a single configuration file in /etc/, or a number of files in /etc/xinet.d/

Here is an example:
Code:
etc/xinetd.d> cat swat
# SWAT is the Samba Web Administration Tool.
service swat
{
        socket_type    = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        port            = 901
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/sbin/swat
        only_from      =  127.0.0.1
        log_on_failure  += USERID
}

when i go into the xinetd.d/swat configuration file i change the disable setting from yes to no but when i try to save it it says i dont have permissions to save the file. any ideas?

Are you trying to edit the file as root user? Most files in /etc contain system settings and are thus
only writable/changeable if you're the root user.

To solve your problem, first "su" to root and then try to edit the file once more.
