1. Check to see if you have /etc/xinetd.d/swat - it should look like:

# default: off
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
# to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
# connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
# > user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}

2. Did you restart extended internet services? Check netstat to see
if the service is running:

$netstat -a | grep swat
tcp 0 0 *:swat *:* LISTEN

3. Point your browser to the proper port - in this case 901 - and
login as root.

Swat is installed, but netstat  does not show anything. Should this not show up as part of the config services?
