I'm running Debian stable (mostly) on my home server on an x86 box, and a nearly identical setup on my parents' home server (which I administer) on a Mac G4 tower. I recently built a netatalk package with OpenSSL (there are licensing issues, which is why I had to build it myself) on both systems, with identical dependencies. I also installed and configured identically the avahi daemon to advertise the shares. The goal is to allow my wife's Mac laptop to use our home server's RAID as a Time Machine backup, which seems to work beautifully, and to allow my father's Mac laptop to use their home server's RAID as a Time Machine backup, which doesn't work at all.
I'm betting on some kind of unpleasant endianness issue with netatalk. There are two symptoms of the problem at my parents' house: the share isn't an option in the Time Machine control panel, and manually logging into the share fails on a bad password (even though I am using afppasswd to set the password explicitly and I am certain I am typing it correctly). Has anyone else had any luck with netatalk (supporting OpenSSL) on PPC? --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
