Any luck using Redhat?
Authored by: billthecat on Mar 07, '02 03:20:10AM

I've used a couple of versions of netatalk (including the current v1.5.2) on Redhat v7.1 and Mac OS X 10.1.x will never connect properly. i get to the point where I select the volume I want and a message "The file server connection has unexpectedly closed down". Any ideas?

This same server works just fine when connecting under Mac OS 9.

The fix for this is actually pretty dumb. Add a login message to the server in the netatalk.conf (I think). It will only show the first word and it's kind of annoying every time you log into a server but it gets you there.

Could you please tell me how to add a "server message" to the netatalk.conf file? I did a 'man netatalk.conf' and couldn't find any references to that.

From OS9 I can mount volumes from my YellowDog Linux server. From OSX I get:

"The file server "localhost" connection has unexpectedly closed down."

Regards,

Gustavo

I was having the same problem...

I added the following to the afpd.conf file.

- -loginmesg "welcome"

(thats two "-" at the begin)

so thanks JessamyG4 for the tip

I am currently using Redhat 7.0 (Yes I know already ...) and everything is working fine. I was able to login with no problems and I have not experienced any unrequrested logouts either.

The current release seems to be quite stable, so far.

Any luck using Redhat? --Figured it out
Authored by: billthecat on Mar 07, '02 01:42:18PM

After doing some snooping through the Netatalk 1.5.2 make file and the man pages I figured it out.

The previous install was v1.5.0pre6, was installed using the RPM at sourceforge. Because it was a Redhat-specific install everything went in a Redhat-specific place (I really hate that). Unfortunately, The RPM puts things in different places than 'make install' does when compiling from the source code. A quick look at /var/log/messages showed that even with v1.5.2 installed v1.5.0pre6 was still starting up.

So basically, I had to remap a couple things on my Linux box:

1. Modify the /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk script to point to /usr/local/sbin instead of /usr/bin

2. Create a link from /etc/atalk (the existing netatalk config files) to /usr/local/etc/netatalk (where the v1.5.2 install expects to find them).

I figured this was easier than trying to figure out how to properly remap paths in the make file to match up with where the rpm install put everything.

Everything's good now, and iTunes can finally get to my mp3 stash. Hurray!

Use Adrian Sun's version of netatalk. It works flawlessly. It will say +asun in the package name
