Upgrade to RH7.0 woe (was No eth0)

[David Mandala]

SWAT is not run fro apache. It is its own daemon runs from inetd or equiv.

RH 70 is BAD, VERY BAD.

Go into /etc/inetd.conf and into /etc/services and uncomment the lines with
SWAT in it and restart inetd then use a browser to hit the port specified in
the services file.

Good Luck
