Heterogenous Networks
24.2.1 Configuring the File Server
In the default configuration, Netatalk is already fully functional as a file
server for home directories of the Linux system. To use the extended fea-
tures, define some settings in the configuration files. These are located in
the /etc/netatalk/ directory.
All configuration files are pure text files. Text that follows a # (comments)
and empty lines can be disregarded. Activate the various services (printing,
Appletalk broadcast, Appletalk via TCP/IP, time server) through the file
/etc/netatalk/netatalk.conf:
ATALKD_RUN=yes
PAPD_RUN=yes
AFPD_RUN=yes
TIMELORD_RUN=no
Configuring the Network — atalkd.conf
Define, in /etc/netatalk/atalkd.conf, over which interfaces services
are provided. This is usually eth0. In the example file that comes with
Netatalk, this is the case. Enter additional interfaces to use several net-
work cards at the same time. When the server is started, it searches the net-
work for existing zones and servers and modifies the corresponding lines
by entering the set AppleTalk network addresses. You will then find a line
such as
eth0 -phase 2 -net 0-65534 -addr 65280.57
at the end of the file. For more complex configurations, refer to examples in
the configuration file. Find documentation about additional options in the
manual page of afpd.
I S/390, zSeries
IBM S/390 and zSeries only support network configuration over the IP pro-
tocol. The procedure is not supported under AppleTalk. J
Defining File Servers — afpd.conf
The afpd.conf file contains definitions for how your file server appears
on MacOS machines as an item under the ‘Chooser’ dialog. Like the other
configuration files, this also contains detailed comments explaining the
wide variety of options.
