SWAT not responding...

[Edge]

Hey guys whats up!

I've had samba running for awhile now, never really touched it cause i set it up and it worked fine for a couple ofmonths. Now, I wanted to go back into swat to change something, but its not responding! I did nmap -sT localhost and its still listening. I ran testparam and the smb.conf file "seems" fine. Anyone ever had this happen to them? Any idea what i can do to get swat running again? A few other things to piont out:

- Both hosts.deny and hosts.allow are empty
- I'm running this locally as root
- i haven't editted samba manually at all
- /etc/services still has port 901 listed
- /etc/xinetd.d/swat is present and enabled
- When i try to run swat via localhost:901 i get the error 'the document contains no data"

Well guys, its up to you...before i pick up this server and toss it out the window!

thanks for any responses!

Just a thought here, but maybe check the /etc/xinetd.d/swat to see if it looks something like this....


service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = 127.0.0.1
# only_from = 192.168.0.4
# uncomment this if you want to access swat from another machine
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
# disable = yes
}

yup...it looks somewhat like that...(its not disabled, and the swat binary is in the right place)

Anyone else?

thanks!
