Ok, now we're at least getting somewhere. I went to the doc you specify. Swat was already enabled. So I figure, hey, why don't I try to restart xinted anyway, just to be sure it's running properly.
service xinetd status: xinetd stopped Ok now that's odd. The services list in the MCC list it as running. (Ya know, the more I work with this system, the more I realize I have GOT to stop using that MCC for anything) Ok, fine, start xinetd. service xinetd start: Starting xinetd: [OK] touch: creating '/var/lock/subsys/xinetd': Permission denied And still, no dice whatsoever. Cannot connect to localhost port:901 (bangs his face on the keyboard) Umm, I'd really like to use swat. But, I give up. Could you go ahead and send the smb.conf file you use to me Dave? I was hoping to get a basic config written using swat and then alter as needed to fine tune. But I guess this way works just as well. It's not that I mind doing things by hand, it just bugs the crap out of me when things don't work.
