Is there a Samba expert in the house?
I’ve got a machine running Fedora Core 3, and I can’t get Samba, or Swat to work properly. The Samba server seems to be running, and the machine shows up in my network neighborhood from the Windows client, but when I click on it, I get a “network path not found” message. The smbd and nmbd services seem to be running on the server.
When I try to log in to Swat from the server (even as root), I get a “connection refused” message.
I’m looking at the configuration. According to the troubleshooting guides, the xinetd.conf file should be looking for it in /usr/sbin/swat, but that file doesn’t seem to exist, even though I installed the full Samba package. When I do a “locate swat” the binary doesn’t show up anywhere–only the configuration file of that name in /etc/xinetd.d. The config file right now actually has this line (which I probably inserted as a result of some other troubleshooter):
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root simberg /usr/sbin/tcpd swat
Is that right? There is at least a program “tcpd” with that path.
The troubleshooting guides I’ve found all leave much to be desired. They will tell you to check if something is happening, but no guidance on what to do if it isn’t.
Anyone know what’s going on?
Oh, and yes, before anyone asks, this (among other reasons) is why posting is sparse.

OK, thanks to help from the comments section, I’ve theoretically got swat installed. But still no joy–it refuses the connection. Now what?
