Not necessarily, /etc/services is more of a directory than anything else.

No, xinetd is a new, improved version of inetd, the daemon server. (It runs
and launches sendmail, in.ftpd et al. when someone connects at those ports.)
inetd uses /etc/inetd.conf, xinetd uses xinetd.conf and xinetd.d; the latter
is a directory.

swat may be in a separate package from samba, you should leaf through the
slackware packages/.tgz's.
