Subject: [netatalk-admins] addmulti error addendum

Another FreeBSD user had the same problem. He reports:
root@yakko# atalkd
AppleTalk not up! Child exited with 1.
Apr 30 15:58:16 yakko atalkd[5673]: addmulti: Invalid argument
Apr 30 15:59:01 yakko atalkd[5678]: addmulti: Invalid argument
This seems to be because in atalkd/main.c at about line 1300
ioctl(s,cmd,&ifr) returns -1
also leaving errno set as EINVAL (22)
basically, I don't get it, and really don't understand what
ioctl should be called, for this to work.

Yesterday I posted:
I am attempting to run netatalk 1.4b2 on my FreeBSD 2.2.1 box.
I have added "option NETATALK" to my kernel conf and recompiled.
I have installed netatalk in /usr/local/atalk
It compiled fine, but now I get an error when I try to start atalkd:
AppleTalk not up! Child exited with 1.

We have an AppleTalk network of 3 Macs running EtherTalk (OS 8, OS 7.5.3 and
OS 7.5.5). The AppleTalk is running, for sure. The ethernet card is lnc1.
I've tried without an atalkd.conf and with. My atalkd.conf is:
lnc1 -phase 2
root@yakko# atalkd
AppleTalk not up! Child exited with 1.
