debian-user:

I am running a Debian 5.0.6 Lenny desktop machine. I wanted to share some files and a printer over the LAN with Linux, BSD, and/or Windows machines. So, I installed Samba and SWAT. Browsing to localhost:901 (with Iceweasel) yielded "Failed to Connect" errors.

RTFM, STFW, vi /etc/inetd.conf, vi /etc/services, find /etc -name "*swat*", find /var/log -name "*swat*", grep swat /var/log/*, etc. -- no luck.

On a hunch, I rebooted the machine and SWAT now works.

What would have been the steps to start SWAT without rebooting? Where is this documented? Why doesn't the swat package do so when installed? Is this a feature or a bug?
