-You need to edit your \f(CW/etc/inetd\&.conf\fP and \f(CW/etc/services\fP to
-enable \fBSWAT\fP to be launched via inetd\&.
-.PP
-In \f(CW/etc/services\fP you need to add a line like this:
-.PP
-\f(CWswat 901/tcp\fP
-.PP
-Note for NIS/YP users - you may need to rebuild the NIS service maps

-the choice of port number isn\'t really important except that it should

-.PP
-In \f(CW/etc/inetd\&.conf\fP you should add a line like this:

-\f(CWswat stream tcp nowait\&.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat\fP
-.PP
-One you have edited \f(CW/etc/services\fP and \f(CW/etc/inetd\&.conf\fP you need

-.PP
-.SH "LAUNCHING"

-To launch \fBswat\fP just run your favorite web browser and point it at
