Samba, swat configuration

[Alex Almaraz]

Hi Managers,

I have a server N4000 server hpux 11.00, it has the samba installed and the daemos are up. But, when I try to get access to the swat page http://host:901 it says The page cannot be found. Any ideas?

It has the /etc/inetd.conf configured, the /etc/services also.

So, your /etc/services has:

swat 901/tcp # SAMBA Web-based Admin Tool

And inetd.conf has:

swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /opt/samba/bin/swat swat


You say samba is installed - how? IE - was HP's CIFS Server installed - then it came with Swat. Older versions of samba may or may not have included swat.

Don you have a:

/opt/samba/swat

# cat /etc/services |grep swat
swat 901/tcp # Samba

# cat /etc/inetd.conf |grep swat
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /opt/samba/bin/swat swat

# ls -l /opt/samba/swat
total 4

drwxrwx--- 2 root sys 1024 Feb 7 2000 images
drwxrwx--- 2 root sys 96 Feb 7 2000 include

I don't installed the samba, it was installed before by another sysadmin, not sure the status of this installation.

Okay - that looks good so far.

Look in /var/opt/samba/log.swat and log.smbd for any errors related to swat.

Are you running ipfilter? that might be blocking it...

The directory you say is empty :s

Hi, try to find swat binary in /opt/samba/bin. If it is there, then try to use ip as url instead of host or try with host name configure in your DNS like: host.xx.yyy:901

What is log file = in your /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file?

I tried it before, but now working. I verified in another server and saw that the nmdb daemon was running but not in the required. How to be sure if all the required daemons are runnig?

I started the daemon by executing:
/opt/samba/bin/nmbd -D

it is running now, the smdb daemon also
/opt/samba/bin/smbd -D

[Alex Almaraz]

no file /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf. I will copy the one of the another server.

[Geoff Wild]

You should just run:

/opt/samba/bin/startsmb

Again, check your log files to see if there are any issues...

[Alex Almaraz]

in other words, I need to configure samba as you can see, some very quick guide?

Look at time stamp of those files in /opt/samba/bin, it seems that your samba is an old one. You can get a new samba (HP call it CIFS) from:
