Silly question, but I just built a Red Hat 7 machine today and can't
seem to find /etc/inetd.conf. I've manually edited the smb.conf file
and have samba working to suit my needs, but I'd like to be lazy and
manipulate samba via the swat/web interface. Has inetd.conf been
replaced or moved to another directory?

Yes, inetd was replaced. It was replaced with xinetd if I remeber right.

Where did you find smb.conf?  I can't find it anymore on my system.  I have no trouble with configuring Samba with smb.conf, I just can't find it.

There are some new dir's in the /etc/
there is /etc/samba /etc/xinetd
My problem is that I cant get into swat whatever I do. Any ideas?

According to the traffic in linux.redhat.install, 7.0 seems to be very
buggy. Swat is one of the things no longer working.

Apparently inetd has been replaced by xinetd. And
no, I don't know how it works either. :-(

It's been moved to /etc/samba (could be /etc/smb,
I don't have my Linux machine here right now).
Also the smbpasswd and smbusers files have been
moved to this directory.

When I can't find a file, I use the following:

find / -name somefilename

and it searches from the root (/) directory thru the dir tree looking for
it.

that won't help, because redhat doesn't have a inetd.conf :)
iirc it's now xinetd.conf

Run "chkconfig swat on" and then run "/etc/init.d/xinet restart"

and you are up an running.

I was able to get swat working only after setting "disable = no" AND
commenting out the line "only_from = localhost" even if I added localhost
to the /etc/hosts.allow file, i.e., ALL: LOCAL localhost 206.138.66.235

Yep, that's where it is alright.

Doesn't make sense to move it like that.  WebMin has to be reconfigured now.
