Heavens, no! vi all the way under Linux.

Here's my swat file:
# 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
{
	disable	= no
	port		= 901
	socket_type	= stream
	wait 		= no
	user		= root
	server		= /usr/sbin/swat
	log_on_failure	+= USERID
}
#only_from 	= 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1

BTW, iptables -F did nothing.

Gave me nothing with or without xinetd being on.

I hope to take a shot at this with webmin later today. I've downloaded it but just 
haven't carted it out to the other building to install it on Linux.
