Subject: [netatalk-admins] init scripts (solution)

Thanks to everyone but especially thanks to asun!
The main problem was that the < 2.0.31 Linux kernels can't delete an
appletalk interface -- hence the error.
If you are like me and timidly running a stock Red Hat release and you've
updated the kernel to 2.0.32 via RPM - don't forget the 2.0.32 headers as
well (doh!).
>From the asun README.LINUX:
4. SIOCATALKDIFADDR. The current stable (2.0.30) kernel and
development kernels < 2.1.43 can't delete interfaces. Apply the
appropriate patch in sys/linux to /usr/src/linux
(patch -p1 -d /usr/src/linux) to enable interface deletion.
The latest glibc and libc-5 libraries should have
an appropriate <netatalk/at.h> header to enable this feature.
Once netatalk was recompiled with the new kernel headers it worked fine.
As for the init script not running on shutdown -- well it's got to be
something painfully obvious that I'm overlooking (admit it, you've done
stuff like that too) especially when I have plenty of others that are
working fine.
Thanks again,
Marc
