Hi All,

I installed samba, and xinetd, then edited /etc/xinetd.d/swat and set
"disable=no".  I restarted xinetd, and when I connect to

http://localhost:901/

with firefox, I get this message:

500 Server Error
chdir failed - the server is not configured correctly

To see if it was me, or firefox, I used netcat (note, I typed the
"GET /" by hand)

$ nc localhost 901
GET /
HTTP/1.0 500 Server Error
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>500 Server Error</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H1>500 Server
Error</H1>chdir failed - the server is not configured
correctly<p></BODY></HTML>

can anyone tell me what's going on?  I've never seen this before.  The
only reference on google I found was basically an "RTFM", but the manual
was 948 pages!! (and there was no result from searching that error
either).

TIA,

Have you tried:

edit /etc/services and uncomment this line:
#swat           901/tcp                         # Samba configuration tool

Also, make sure you have started the samba service.

Not very much, /me never had problems with swat.
Try to start it from the command line (after stopping xinetd)
/usr/sbin/swat --debuglevel=9
or look for something useful into the logs.

I started it from the command line, and I got the same response.  (after
typing "GET /").  The logs don't show anything without the debuglevel,
but with debugleve=9, this is what I get.  Can anyone help me interpret
it?
