This restricts access to the volume “PostScript Fonts” to the user “User1”
and all members of the group “group0”. The users and groups entered
here must be known to the Linux system. Likewise, explicitly deny users
access with deny:User2. These restrictions only apply to access via Ap-
pleTalk and not to the normal access rights users have if they can log in to
the server itself.
Netatalk maps the customary resource fork of MacOS files to
.AppleDouble/ directories in the Linux file system. Using the
noadouble option, set these directories to be created only when they are
actually needed. The syntax is:
/usr/local/guests "Guests" options:noadouble
Additional options and features can be found in the explanations included
in the file itself.
The tilde (~) in this configuration file stands for the home directory for each
and every user on the server. This way, every user can easily access his
home directory without each one being defined explicitly here. The exam-
ple file installed already includes a tilde, which is why Netatalk makes
the home directory available by default.
afpd also searches for a file Applevolumes or .Applevolumes in
the home directory of a user logged in to the system. Entries in this file
supplement the entries in the server files AppleVolumes.system and
AppleVolumes.default to enable individual type and creator file set-
tings and to access specific directories. These entries are extensions and do
not allow access for the user for whom access permission is denied from
the server side.
The netatalk.pamd file is used, via PAM (pluggable authentication mod-
ules), for authentication purposes. Using PAM is, however, irrelevant in
this context.
File Specifications — AppleVolumes.system
In the AppleVolumes.System file, define which customary MacOS type
and creator specifications are assigned to certain file endings. An entire
series of default values are already predefined. If a file is displayed by
a generic white icon, there is not yet an entry for it in this file. If you en-
counter a problem with a text file belonging to another system, which can-
not be opened properly in MacOS or vice versa, check the entries there.
