That was actually the first thing I tried, but it appeared not
to work. I installed swat ti administer samba shares on this
machine. The default debian configuration in /etc/inetd.conf
is for the swat line to be commented out. I removed the
comment and ran /etc/init.d/inetd restart, but could not get
into swat via http://localhost:901. I then rebooted the
machine and it worked straight away.
I then put the comments back into the file and ran
/etc/init.d/inetd restart. Swat still worked. Only after a
reboot did it deny me access. I posted the first message
because /etc/init.d/inetd restart appears not to reload
/etc/inetd.conf.
Could someone advise me what I am missing?
Keith.
