swat does not work
Last modified: 2005-10-31 17:00:50 EST
swat does not start using "http://localhost:901" or "xxx.xxx.xxx:901" local or over the network. httpd works /etc/services has the correct entry for swat /etc/xinetd.d/swat looks great Looking at the logs for inetd, it does not even show any error message or that it tried to launch swat. If I telnet to the machine, it logs just fine. Where do I go from here?
i have the same problem with swat and webaccess linuxconf, i added my host then added a subnet and cant get swat or linuxconf to work, i did remove the diaable = yes line in the etc/xinetd/linuxconf-web and /etc/xinetd/swat files thanx kjt
We've (actually Nalin) traced this to a possible bug in the internal tcpwrappers implementation of xinetd (I think I got that right). You need to set up your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to prevent access from everywhere, then comment out this line in your /etc/xinetd.d/swat file: only_from = localhost That'll get SWAT going for the time being -- a fix is in the works. Panic
I've also been told that changing the line like this works as well: only_from = localhost to only_from = 127.0.0.1 A name resolution problem?
