This does not surprise me. I've never, *never* gotten NetAtalk to compile
on any machine I've had (RedHat 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, and every version of
NetAtalk SRPM that has appeared in /contrib/SRPMS and
/contrib/hurricane/SRPMS). Someone out there has magic fingers or a God
blessed compiler; I don't =)

Do you mean you have a public (or at least group shared) directory on the
UNIX box that you want people to access via AppleTalk? If so, there are
two ways to go about this. First, if you want *everyone* who connects to
the machine via AppleTalk to be allowed to at least know the mount exists,
whether or not they can mount it, you can put the directory in
/etc/appletalk/AppleVolumes.default. The syntax is braindead simple:
/path/to/share "Apple Macintosh Mounted Volume Name"
I.e.,
/usr/local/share/website "Company Website"
Or, if you want a select group of people to even know it exists, you can
simply have that group append the same lines to either:
~/AppleVolumes
or
~/.AppleVolumes
Note, however, the home directory won't be available anymore unless you
explicitely define it in the AppleVolumes or .AppleVolumes file. That is,
the file in the user's home directory overrides the
/etc/atalk/AppleVolumes.default.

Do you mean directly see each other, or see the same place on the server?
If it's the latter, of course you can make a SAMBA share and a NetAtalk
share the same spot, and they can both see the same files. That's an easy
one. If you mean have the different machines see each other directly,
that's a little harder. You'd need to install either MacLAN Connect on the
Win '95 box, which lets you export AppleTalk volumes and mount AppleTalk
servers, or you'd have to install DAVE on the Macintosh, which allows you
to export SMB/CIFS (Microsoft Networking) shares from the Macintosh as well
as allow you to mount SMB/CIFS shares from other boxes. Both products are
circa $100 American.

Glad I could help. There have certainly been enough people who got me up
and running (thanks). Now, about that case of champange.... =)
