Samba configuration error
I recently install Red Hat 7.1 along with Samba. WHenever I choose the Samba Configuration option I keep geting an error message in Netscape
Netscape connection refused by server 127.0.0.1:901
This happens even if I try to start the process right after boot up. Can somebody tell me what I am doing or did wrong.
Thanks
Trent

Re: Samba configuration error
Trent,
Try and restart Swat (e.g. /etc/rc.d/init.d/swat restart).
If that still does not work then try using the https://127.0.0.1:901
One of these should work!

Re: Samba configuration error
Hi Trent,
First of all make sure /etc/services has an entry for swat
swat 901/tcp
Secondly you have to create a file called swat in /etc/xinetd.d directory
The contents of the file should be
/Begin/
# default: off
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, connect to port 901 with your
favorite web browser.
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = 127.0.0.1
user = smbuser
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
/End/
This will let you connect only from the machine where the samba server is running, if you want to be able to run this remotely, then remove the line "only_from".
Once you create this file in /etc/xinetd.d, all you need to do is bounce your xinetd (/etc/init.d/xinetd restart)
Now you should be able to run swat from your browser.
