[GRLUG] Samba on Kubuntu

Somewhat in the spirit of "if first you
don't succeed,  you probably won't
the second time either,"  I'm still having
a problem with Samba on a system
running Kubuntu 6.06.

What I know:

* There is an entry for port 901
   in /etc/services,  and the line
  contains swat.

* /etc/xinetd.conf contain a line with

swat  stream tcp nowait:400 root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/swat

* There is a smb.conf file in /etc/samba

   The same one that works fine on a
   system running Mandrake 10.1

*  Putting the URL  http://localhost:901/  in Firefox,
   I get "Problem loading page."  Port 631 runs as
   expected.

What I don't know:

* Why localhost:901 doesn't work.

Anyone see something,  or perhaps many
things,  that I'm missing yet?

   -Bob
