Same.
# chkconfig swat on

# netstat -tpan | grep 901

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:901                 0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      3914/xinetd   

No output. No 901 in output.

Huh? So not even the xinetd superserver listens on port 901. Now
please don't tell me you edited the /etc/xinet.d/swat file manually
and in Microsoft Windows or so. In case you did -- what I suspect --
run dos2unix on the file.

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.

# telnet 127.0.0.1 swat

telnet: swat: bad port

That looks broken, too. Does the following work for you at least?
$ getent services swat
swat                  901/tcp

Gave me nothing with or without xinetd being on.

I mean, trying to connect with telnet to port 901 doesn't make sense
anyway because nothing listens on that port. It's just a basic test.
"telnet 127.0.0.1 901" would be the same.

# /usr/sbin/swat -V

No output. I had to Ctrl-C to break from its grip.

Expected result. Old SWAT didn't have that option. Want to test that.
# /usr/sbin/swat < /dev/null
HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="SWAT"
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>401 Authorization Required</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H1>401 Authorization Required</H1>You must be authenticated to use this service<p></BODY></HTML>
Got exactly what you show.

So /usr/sbin/swat works. It's just not executed by the xinetd
superserver. More debugging is necessary there. See above.

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.
