I think the only solution for our problem is installing some piece of software in OS X that makes file serving over appletalk possible. If netatalk does that, than we should use that.
So, who knows enough about linux/bsd to compile this software for the rest of us?


Or maybe there already is a netatalk for Darwin....

I sometimes wish I would know more about this stuff... I found this: http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/ But I really don't know what to do with the resulting folder. There is an icon that is called 'compile' and there is also an icon called 'install' but nothing happens when I click on them. O things are so much simpler with system 6...

Marten,

That's a standard Unix tarball, and to compile it, you follow the directions in the README or INSTALL file; in this case, it's in the README file. This particular application installs with:
./configure && make && make install


It requires Berkeley DB version 4, but apparently OS X doesn't come with that. I'm going to try compiling and installing that, and see where I get.

I'll keep you guys posted.

PS - I only entered the Mac world with OS X - I'm a Unix geek, not a Mac geek... ;) But now I've seen the light and I love to play with this amazing operating system - especially 6.0.x and 7.y [y=1 or y=5.3].
