We've been extensively testing netatalk1.3.3 here at Notre Dame as we
are looking at providing AFS file services to students in their dorms...We
found that there really isn't anything that you can replace netatalk
with. Even if you pay a pile of money (especially if you're running AFS)...
We too are interested in running netatalk on Solaris 2.4/2.5...Given
our limited resources it was obvious that we couldn't port netatalk
to Solaris 2.x..So we contacted Sun and their OPCOM center up in Canada
which has been working on porting this for the last couple months. (After all
they've been telling us how easy SunOS -> Solaris migrations are ....right ;-))
The intent is that their Solaris code would be freely available
(just as it is now). I haven't heard from them in the last month although I
know that they planned on having this done by the end of January from
their earlier messages.
