swat doesn't work from a remote location

[spankmeister7]

Hi.

I've installed Samba and it works just fine. But boy oh boy do I hate trying to use Swat from Lynx through an ssh session.

It would be fantastic if swat could just work across the web so I can administer it remotely. I have port 901 open on the firewall, and I commented out the only_from entry in my /etc/xinetd.d/swat file. Just for kicks, here is my /etc/xinetd.d/swat file:

service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
#only_from = 192.168.1.0/24
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}


Also, the service is listening on my /etc/services file like so:

swat 901/tcp # Samba configuration tool



Still, from a remote connection I can't connect. It simply times out instead.
