(umm...do you really have 'nowait.400' in your inetdcnf.net.sys file??)

fwiw, the above comments for inetdcnf.net seem to be pretty old.  if
you're running 2.2.8, you'll want:

swat          stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS /usr/local/samba/SWAT swat

if you're running an older version of samba, you'll need to modify
'/usr/local....' to point to where swat actually lives (just like frank
already noted) (and case is important).  i *believe* the user needs to
match the user in your samba daemon jobs.  (for me, it's manager.sys,
for you it may be mgr.samba)  i also think you do NOT want to use the
-a switch.  here's what the swat documentation has to say:
----------------
-a
This option disables authentication and puts swat in demo mode. In that
mode anyone will be able to modify the smb.conf file. 

Do NOT enable this option on a production server. 
-----------------
when i connected to my mpe/samba server (running swat without -a) thru
a browser to access swat, i was asked for a logon and password...which
i figure is a good thing.

you shouldn't need to do that.  after changing your services and
inetdcnf files, all that you should have to do is give inetd a swift
kick (e,g,  :inetd.net -c  ) check inetd's $stdlist after doing that
and you should see that it brought in the new configuration.

(or you can use the name of your 3000 too...)

i'll add my ditto for programmer studio too.  "oh look! it's got pretty
colors!" 8-}         - d (but qedit works great as well!)
