netstat -na | grep 901

if nothing shows up in results, then in /etc/xinetd.d/swat verify value
of "disable" parameter. If it set to "no", then try to simply restart
xinetd one more time (and check logs!). If "yes" -- change to "no" and
restart xinetd (and check logs!). Then do netstat again as sanity check
(I'm assuming that in messages you'll get something like this:

[...] xinetd[27840]: xinetd Version 2.3.10 started with libwrap options
compiled in.
[...] xinetd[27840]: Started working: 1 available service
[...] xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded
