Even though my atalkd starts fine I thought this sounded like a good idea. I did this by commenting out the following in /etc/init.d/netatalk. /usr/sbin/atalkd echo -n " atalkd" > > /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf: > hostname -tcp -noddp -nosetpassword -nouservol -noguest Is hostname arbitrary? I noticed in the init script, afpd -n "$servername", where servername is the short host name. I also saw in the afpd.conf file that you could use - for the default host name but this didn't work either. output: /etc/init.d/netatalk start Starting AppleTalk Daemons (this will take a while):bind: Cannot assign requested address bind: Cannot assign requested address afpd papd. # update-rc.d -f netatalk remove What is Will doing here? Thanks for any help, Eric :-)
