After installing samba, "rpm -q" shows me I have samba, samba-common, samba-client and samba-swat installed.

However, putting http://localhost:901 in the browser brings up an error that the URL cannot be found.

Is SWAT actually running? Most services aren't set to start by default.

I don't have any of those packages installed, so I can't give you the name of the startup script, but I'll guess it's named "swat", in which case "/sbin/service swat start" should start it up for you. (If that gives an error, use "ls -l /etc/init.d/s*" to find the correct name to use).

Afterwards, you can use "/sbin/chkconfig" to set SWAT (and the Samba daemons) to start up on system boot.
