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.
Not sure where to go from here. Appreciate advice Thanks

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.

swat is installed disabled by default. go to /etc/xinetd.d, find the swat config file, and # comment out the line that says 'disabled'... service xinetd reload, then you can connect to http://localhost:901
samba itself isn't started by default either, after configuring thingss with swat, you have to
# chkconfig samba-server on # service samba-server start
{note, I might have the service name wrong here, look in /etc/init.d for smbd or samba or something}
