You probably won't want to hear this but... For me AppleTalk required no configuration whatsoever (YDL 4.0 (.0)). I merely installed the netatalk package using yum and turned on atalk using the redhat-config-network app (or whatever it is now). Then I made sure that it's started at boot using the same network configuration app (both steps are obvious) and now I can log-in into my accounts on the YDL machine (username/password, clear text password). You can also (as I recently discovered ;) use netatalk to share files between the "host computer" and MOL. Under Ubuntu (5.04 developer version) I installed netatalk and Synaptic did all the hard work -- installed 1.64, activated it and inserted it into the boot sequence (someday I ought to figure out how to configure network services in Fedora/YDL and Debian/Ubuntu). eric. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
