Hey Brogan -
Scroll on down and I'll toss in my pennies...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get netatalk set up and running on my eMac which I injected with a little YDL 4. So far I've spent a butt load of time trying to figure out to install it properly (cuz I'm pretty new to Linux). Now I've gotten to the point of the Linux machine showing up in the Network browser on my Powerbook (OSX.3.8), but when I tell it to connect I get an error that says: This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volumes and files locally.
I'm guessing this has something to do with the .AppleVolumes.default file, but I'm sure what I should do.
The only other possibility I can think of is that netatalk is set up to connect to the Powerbook in the opposite direction. If this is so, how would I go about doing that. Like I said I'm pretty new to Linux. Could I just connect through Konqueror, or what??
Any help is greatly appreciated.
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).

Can anyone help me??
If you've done a clean install and haven't messed with any of the atalk config files, you should be able to get things running pretty easily. Be forewarned, I run my YDL box headless so this will all be done via the CLI.
First thing, verify that atalk is available as a service. as root:
/sbin/chkconfig --list | grep atalk
You should get a return something along the line of:
atalk 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
The numbers are your runlevels (3 being to CLI/text and 5 being GUI/X). If all of your run levels are "off" run as root:
/sbin/chkconfig atalk on
then run the '--list | grep' command above again to make sure it took (yeah, I know - AR). This will set atalk to start on boot.
Next, if atalk *wasn't* started on boot, run as root: /sbin/service atalk start and even if it showed up as "on", let's be AR again and restart atalk: /sbin/service atalk restart
Now grab your powerbook and in the Finder, '[command] + k' or from the Menu 'Go-->Connect to Server...' to bring up the server dialog box. Enter the YDL box's IP address and click 'Connect'. The next dialog should default to "Registered User". Enter the YDL username and password and click "Connect". From here choose the volume you want to mount and that should be about all there is to that. An icon should appear on the Desktop, and a window should open up for that volume.
just a little tidbit - if you have vsftpd (ftp service) running (or any other ftp server for that matter), you can also connect as above using:
ftp://<YDLusername>@<YDLboxIPaddress>
and entering the password. The bummer here is that it doesn't seem to like links.
HTHO
cheers, g'luck and all that stuff
