is it running?

netstat -an | grep -i 901

should show you something regarding an open port if it is.

You need to emerge xinetd and add a smbpassword for root.

You can find out if it is running by typing:
Code:

ps aux | grep -i xinet | grep -v grep


if it's not, see if it is emerged by searching it out.

if i remember correctly, when i installed samba, swat wouldn't work. There was a /etc/xinetd.d directory, but obviously xinetd wasn't running. I don't remember if it was emerged or not, but i did an emerge xinetd, then did an rc-update add /etc/init.d/xinetd defualt and then started it.

oh, one more thing...make sure you edit the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file.
I believe it has "disable = yes" by default...you probably want to get rid of that line...
