Use swat (Samba admin tool) over network?

I can't brain today, I have the dumb...

I am setting up a new system. I wanted to use Swat. I CAN use Swat on the old server over the network using the server IP address (URL http://10.0.0.3:901). I can use the Samba shares on the new system (IP 10.0.0.4). The Swat line in /etc/inetd.conf is uncommented. The system has been restarted, but I get :

Code: 
Connection closed by remote server
You tried to access the address http://10.0.0.4:901/, which is currently unavailable.

The first system (the one at 10.0.0.3) is FreeBSD 6.2 Release. The second system (10.0.0.4)is FreeBSD 8.1 Release.

As a matter of self-help I tried Google and looked at this section in Handbook :http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-samba.html

This isn't a massive problem, I can edit /usr/local/etc/smb.conf directly, but I'd like to get to the bottom of the problem. How should I diagnose this problem? Thanks.
 
How did you install samba? And what version?

For both samba34 and samba35 SWAT is disabled by default. That means the packages don't have it enabled.
 
Samba version = 35_1 using the sysinstall to pkg_add -r. Do I have to compile, perhaps with a command line directive to use Swat?
