The patched version in that directory seems to predate the addition of the
netbsd stuff added to netatalk a few weeks back, and the patches
themselves won't apply to the netbsd version (most of them do with a
little help, but a few won't, and I'm not experienced enough to fix it
myself).

There's a netbsd-aware version of netatalk 1.4b2 at:

     <ftp://toccata.fugue.com/pub/netbsd-atalk/>

...in case anybody wants to take a crack at making the two work together.
There's something wonky about that FTP server, though; I was only able to
get file listings by using standard ftp (not ncftp) on an ultrix system
(not netbsd), and by using ls (not ls -l or dir). Good luck...

  I put them on and went out of the room.
