Subject: [netatalk-admins] init scripts

Here's an odd one(s).
I have netatalk 1.4b2asun16 running on a Red Hat 4.2 machine. With the
'default' rc.atalk.bsd init script there's no clean shutdown of netatalk
and as a result my Mac users experience hangs when the Linux machine is
rebooted (rather than a dialog box telling them the server shutdown). Some
of the atalk directories are NFS mounts and NFS complains that the
directories are in use when it tries to shut down as well.
So to fix this I opted to try to use the 'rc.atalk.sysv' script that
handles the 'stop' parameter. There are two problems with this.
1) Run manually the script shuts down the appletalk stuff apperently just
fine and my Mac users don't hang. Problem is I can't restart the 'atalk'
deamon again - it complains about a child dying - and I have to reboot.
2) On shutdown the script fails to run at all (causing more of the problems
above) even though all of the other shutdown/reboot scripts execute just
fine. Now this probably isn't a neteatalk problem at all but I thought I'd
bring it up.
Anyone have ideas?
