Oh, brother. I used to *publish* the hooks to get CAP, the Columbia
Appletalk Protocol server, and later netatalk to work for SunOS sytems
to allow Mac access.
These days, MacOS clients can use NFSv3 to access Linux hosts quite
handily. I'd use that, seriously. The tricky part is unmounting
gracefully: NFS is supposed to be "stateless", but never quite
achieves it.
If you need better authentication, then look into CIFS (which Linux
and various network appliances use Samba to publish), or possibly
NFSv4 (which has much better user authentication than NFSv3, but is
more complex to set up).
OS X 10.1 had nfs and smb as well as Apple's pre-OS X afp.
OS X defaulted to afp until smb replaced it in OS X 10.9.
If you set up samba on an SL box and have avahi installed, the SL
box'll show up in the OS X Finder.
Thank you!
