1. It uses xinetd, as does RH 7.x.
2. Install swat from the RPM and it will automatically put the xinetd entries in for you. Of course, if you want to futz with 
xinted configs and learn that, it could be a good lesson for you. Not too hard to use... I did like the simple inetd.conf single 
file method better...
3. Bryan's advice on using the Webmin samba module is right on track... I've found it to be much better than swat.
