![]() You should specify all of your network cards in this file. The simplest version of this file is an empty file which causes atalkd to overwrite it with some reasonable options. This program is controlled by the nf file. It will even take care of AppleTalk routing between multiple network cards. It will serve as the link between the kernel AppleTalk module and the rest of the classic AppleTalk functions of Netatalk. AppleDouble counterpart.Ītalkd is the "Classic AppleTalk" kernel interface. The server will do this for all files that do not have a. This tells afpd to tell Macintoshes that the file type is of type TEXT and the creator is MSWD (Microsoft Word) when it runs into non Macintosh files ending in. AppleDouble/somefile.txt) Consider the following type-creator mapping that would be in nf: Therefore a pair of Linux files represents one Macintosh file. Because Linux files are essentially one long list of characters instead of a resource fork and a data fork, Netatalk writes the resource forks in files inside a directory called. The resource fork stores things like icons, file types and a mapping to the application that was used to create the file. Unlike Linux files, all Macintosh files consist of two pieces, a resource fork and a data fork. The other thing that this file controls is type-creator mappings. This creates a volume called Webserver which exposes the contents of /data/www. To establish a Classic AppleTalk share, we have to edit /usr/local/atalk/etc/AppleVolumes.system and add the share like this: Don't forget to replace with the correct path and file name. Here we define a server called Inner Sanctum which does not use TCP/IP (DDP only) and uses an alternate fault and AppleVolumes.system file. "Inner Sanctum" -notcp -defaultvol -systemvol With this setting we will get a volume on port 12000 called The Vault which will A login message will be shown after the guest user connects. nocleartxt disables password login, hence the guest nature of the server. This line will create a dedicated guest server. "Guest Volume" -nocleartxt -loginmesg "Pay homage to my guest server!" The last line creates a server called Out There bound to port 12000 on virtual IP address 206.114.89.46. ![]() The second line creates a server called Balboa2 on port 12000 and the third creates yet another server called Bad Boy on port 12001. The first line ( - ) gives you a server called balboa. A slightly more complicated example would be a file containing one word, Balboa, as the name of the server.Ī few examples: Let's assume we have a server called "balboa" with the following nf file: The simplest nf file just includes a - which stands for "this machine" with all the default options. You may have to do something like this:ĪppleShareIP and Classic AppleTalk Shares:Īfpd, the program that makes AppleTalk shares available in both Classic AppleTalk and AppleShareIP, gets it's options from the configuration file called nf. RedHat and Debian may store the package in non-standard locations. Server binaries and config files are in /usr/local/atalk/etc/ and userland binaries are in /usr/local/atalk/bin/. The installed version of Netatalk lives in: /usr/local/atalk/. (to check, try this: dmesg | grep -i apple) (such as RedHat) If you don't have it, you will have to recompile your kernel. Luckily most major distributions include AppleTalk support. > tar -xzvf netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3.tar.gzįor Classic AppleTalk networking, Netatalk requires AppleTalk support in the kernel. If you grabbed one of the precompiled versions, decompress and install them like this: If you are running RedHat and you grabbed the rpm, install it like this: If you wish to compile Netatalk from the source, take a look at the Netatalk-HOWTO located at. Download one of the precompiled versions. You can download the source code, a precompiled version, or the precompiled version as a RedHat rpm. There are several different ways you can download Netatalk. ![]() We are going to install Adrian Sun's version of Netatalk, netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3.tar.gz. ![]() Since then, Adrian Sun has been developing Netatalk to include AppleShareIP and numerous other bug fixes and enhancements. (AppleTalk over TCP/IP) The original Netatalk by the University of Michigan's Research Systems Unix Group supports Classic AppleTalk. Netatalk supports two types of AppleTalk. In this article, we're going to show you how to set it all up! Netatalk is a program that makes your Linux machine look like a Macintosh fileserver on a network. Wouldn't it be nice to get them to play together nicely? You are in luck. You've spent all this energy getting a Linux machine running, but you still have a network full of Macs.
