samba swat won't load

I execute:

Code:

$ firefox localhost:901

and it fails to connect
if I do:

Code:

$ firefox localhost:631

the CUPS page comes up.

is there something I need to do in smb.conf to enable SWAT?

is the service listening on port 901 ?
Did you open the port in your firewall?

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?

Thanks for your help!

Code:

netstat -ltnup

Code:

lsof -i4 | grep LISTEN

Code:

telnet 127.0.0.1 901

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.

There is lots and lots of information on the web about samba and swat.

So nothing is listening on port 901
What do I need to do to cause that to happen?
