I logon as root. Here's some info from an exercise this morning shortly after I rebooted:

cat /var/log/secure additional lines since restart when opened Mozilla and
tried executing http://127.0.0.1:901 localhost:901 and a mistaken
localsystem:901 entry for the URL. The sgi_fam is a little puzzling. I have a
siig card in my computer. This may not be related to sgi though. The siig card
is a serial/parallel card.

The author is Peter Harrison. On page 5, he talks about the SWAT file. I've
incorporated the two statements:
disable = no
only_from=localhost 192.168.0.2
After editing this file, did you restart the xinetd superserver?
Command "service xinetd restart" would do that.
To enable swat, the "chkconfig swat on" command would have been enough.
No need to edit the file manually. And access restrictions with only_from
only make sense after
Note that to run chkconfig/service without full path, you must be
logged in as root user, i.e. "su --login", "su -l" or "su -".
The IP address is the one I use for my machine. The other machines are at 192.168.0.1
(linux) and 192.168.0.3 (XP). For the moment only 2 and 3 are online.
According to the test I can fire up swat from a browser, Moz, in my case. I've tried
with the following three URLs:
http://127.0.0.0:901 --> msg: Connection refused when trying to contact ...
http://192.168.0.2:901 -->msg: Document contents are empty ...
What is logged in /var/log/secure?
