Hi,
it just so happens that I had the same problem yesterday evening while
playing around with the same package to get an imac to connect to my cooker box.
I first tried just changing the line "ATALK_CONF_DIR=/usr/etc/netatalk" in
/etc/init.d/atalk to "ATALK_CONF_DIR=/etc/atalk" but as is obvious
from the logs this path seems to be compiled in:
Jan 14 23:36:19 gandalf atalkd[29368]: /usr/etc/netatalk/atalkd.tmp: No such file or
directory
So I did the "ln -s /etc/atalk /usr/etc/netatalk" like you, but I also
had to add this line to atalkd.conf:
eth0 -seed
After that nbprgstr successfully registers my server. In the conf file
they say:
# -seed only works if you have multi-interfaces. Any missing arguments are
# automatically configured from the network. Note: lines can't actually be
# split, tho it's a good idea.
#
# -router is like -seed but it allows single-interface routing. -dontroute
# disables routing for the specified interface.
However only -seed works for me (I do have two NICs, only one used
for atalk). So there:
Jan 16 08:08:38 gandalf atalk: Registering gandalf:Workstation: succeeded
Jan 16 08:08:44 gandalf atalk: Registering gandalf:netatalk: succeeded
I now have another problem tough (and I'm sorry if this is getting OT
for cooker but I'd love to have a fully functional netatalk package
for Mandrake). netatalk uses some weird encoding for accentuated
characters in filenames by default and one easy way to correct this is
to use
~ options:noadouble,mswindows
^^^^^^^^^ this option
in the /etc/atalk/AppleVolumes.default file, which should do:
# mswindows -> enforce filename restrictions imposed by MS
# Windows. this will also invoke a default
# codepage (iso8859-1) if one isn't already
# specified.
However I now find this in my logs:
Jan 15 21:03:05 gandalf afpd[10097]: /usr/etc/netatalk/nls/maccode.iso8859-1: failed
to open codepage
There is no nls dir in /etc/atalk and I have no idea where to get this
file.
If anyone has some pointers or hints I'd be very grateful.
PS: I know about the HOWTO at http://www.anders.com/projects/netatalk/
but it's outdated and incomplete, and there's almost no documentation
on the sourceforge site.
