Re: Samba--Connection Refused

I logon as root. Here's some info from an exercise this morning shortly after I rebooted:

cat /var/log/secure last few lines
Dec 13 12:05:26 AstroPC2004 xinetd[10097]: START: swat pid=10116 from=127.0.0.1

Dec 13 12:05:26 AstroPC2004 xinetd[10097]: START: swat pid=10117 from=127.0.0.1
rebooting at this point.
Dec 13 12:06:16 AstroPC2004 sshd[3465]: Received signal 15; terminating.
Dec 13 12:07:38 AstroPC2004 sshd[3450]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.

[root@AstroPC2004 root]# service xinetd restart

Starting xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]

cat /var/log/secure additional lines since restart when opened Mozilla and
tried executing http://127.0.0.1:901 localhost:901 and a mistaken
localsystem:901 entry for the URL. The sgi_fam is a little puzzling. I have a
siig card in my computer. This may not be related to sgi though. The siig card
is a serial/parallel card.
