My guess is you forgot starting cnid_metad with afpd. Try: $ sudo /etc/rc.d/cnid_metad start $ sudo /etc/rc.d/afpd start and see if this solves the problem. Basically afpd and cnid_metad are meant to be used together. Try 'man cnid_metad' for more details. > > From another Mac, I can connect to the resulting server, but get: > Message from server "oldMac" > Something wrong with the volume's CNID DB, using > temporary CNID DB instead.Check server messages > for details.

This procedure is for the case .AppleDB is broken and unable to be rebuilt by dbd command. (It's basically how to recreate .AppleDB) By the way, pkg_scripts="afpd cnid_metad" is what you want in your rc.conf.local. 'man rc.conf.local' and 'man rc.d' are your friends. > I did not change AppleVolumes.default because the cnidscheme is already dbd by > default. > I did not delete an .AppleDB folder or its contents because none exists > (though there is a .AppleDouble folder).

You don't need them. In fact, they are all set by default. See manpage about afpd.conf. > I did not add anything to a /etc/default/netatalk because I don't have such a > file.
