How to start netatalk?
Hi, I want to share files between FreeBSD 5.3 and Mac OS X. I have compiled my kernel with the NETATALK option, and installed netatalk 2.0 from the port. What should I do now? --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MacOS X does both NFS and Samba out of the box. Either of which would be a better choice. NFS is native to both platforms and probably the quickest to set up, but you'll have to synchronise UID and GID numbers between server and client for the user accounts that use it. Samba requires your installing some 3rd party software on the FreeBSD side, and working out how you're going to authenticate one to the other.

I have tried NFS but I am learning about IPFW on the FreeBSD box, and I heard that it is hard to properly configure IPFW to let through NFS packets, so I was thinking to switch to netatalk. I haven't tried Samba, though. Anyway, I just successfully setup netatalk to serve files to my iBook G4(Yes it is Mac OS X :D). I think I will stay with netatalk for a while. Thanks again :) --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
