Hi,
depending on your distribution, swat will run from either inetd or xinetd. If
your system uses inetd, search through /etc/inetd.conf, and comment out the line
with swat on it, then send an HUP to inetd (ie. kill -HUP <process id of
inetd>). If you are usig xinetd, under /etc/xinetd.d will be a file called
swat, move that to a different directory then send a HUP to xinetd.

Also, in both cases, a line mapping port 901 to swat will exist in
/etc/services, comment out this line.
