Prichard. Thanks for the time you are spending on this with me.
Sorry to give you so much reading. Answers to your questions are in the print outs below.

Well I found I had more than one inetd file and when I put the swat entry and the two netbios-ns and netbios-ssn lines in both #/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L banora sprang to life as you can see below.
The aix5.2 machine all this is happening on is host banora 192.168.0.144.
In the smbclient printout below GIGI is my XP machine in the P2P network and Printer is a HP4500N on the P2P network connected via cat5 cable to the Switch/Hub like GIGI and banora are.

#/usr/local/samba/bin/testparm also looks good as per below.

The only thing not working is http://banora:901 which I put into seamonkey on banora and cannot get that Samba configuration page to come up.
Have a W2K machine on P2P network with Firefox and it did not work in this. GIGI/XP runs IE7 but it did not work on this either. Tried http://banora:901, http://banora and http://192.168.0.144 on both W2K and XP.

This http://banora:901 seems to be bound up with the " swat 901/tcp " entry I put in /etc/services . As you can see below there is another 3 " services " items in the computer.

(a) /usr /lpp/bos. net/inst_ root/ etc/services This looks exactly the same as /etc/services
(b) /usr /websm/codebase/com/ibm/websm/ apps/wsmperf/services Services here is a directory
(c) /etc/security/services This has a few port/tcp lines

Should the line " swat 901/tcp " go into the services file in (a) and (c) above. Did not want to fiddle with files.

Thanks

PS Note there are also two smb.conf files, both the same content as set out below.
