Some things to check:

1. Do you have a file '/etc/inetd.conf' and does it contain a line something 
like this:
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/swat

2. Is inetd running?
sudo /etc/init.d/inetd start

3. There is nothing in '/etc/hosts.deny' and '/etc/hosts.allow' that would 
prevent access from localhost. (on my system, these files contain nothing but 
comments)
