Here's my /etc/xinet.d/swat
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
only_from = 10.1.1.1
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}

Tried again removing the only_from 10.1.1.1 line to no avail. I can't also find the pid of any SWAT daemon to attach strace to. var/log/messages shows SWAT started with a pid when i try to login from a web browser but then strace says there is no such process! what is going on?

yes, /usr/sbin/swat exists and every time I try to login from a web browswer a new line appears in /var/log/authpriv indicating that SWAT started with a pid number. How do I use strace to see what SWAT is doing? Issuing strace -p somepid while the authentication dialog box is displayed does not work. Thanks everybody for the prompt responses! (the problem still withstanding...)

Can u check /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow ? Check selinux as well. Disable selinux " setenforce 0" 2. Run swat on foreground with debug enabled, auth disabled.. and test it. $ swat --help Usage: swat [OPTION...] -a, --disable-authentication Disable authentication (demo mode) -P, --password-menu-only Show only change password menu Help options: -?, --help Show this help message --usage Display brief usage message Common samba options: -d, --debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL Set debug level -s, --configfile=CONFIGFILE Use alternate configuration file -l, --log-basename=LOGFILEBASE Base name for log files -V, --version Print version hope you are home this time..
