Thanks for the information.
I have the file you speak of but I am a wee bit confused at because of the
difference in yours, RH 7.1, and Zhang.
The only problem is that I don't believe it is working correctly.

The following is the RH 7.1 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
{
         port = 901
         socket_type = stream
         wait = no
         only_from = 127.0.0.1
         user = root
         server = /usr/sbin/swat
         log_on_failure += USERID
         disable = yes
}

Zhan has the following line:

> swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat

If possible I would appreciate a bit of enlightenment as to what this file
should contain.

Thanks
Frank
