Thanks, the SWAT GUI is now up. I removed my erroneous entry from /etc/xinetd.conf, made the other changes illustrated below, and accessed it from another machine on the LAN. Thanks for the help and the security heads-ups. (As a security related follow-up, I might try to restore the "only_from = 127.0.0.1" line in /etc/xinetd.d/swat, ssh to the box, and then open the http://localhost:901 via a remote X Windows session back on my workstation.) Now to figure out how to authenticate via Active Directory... Saw a bunch of threads on that to read up on.
