I recently upgraded from netatalk-1.3.3-8 to version 1.4b2, and have a
few problems:

First, when I shut down the older verions of the atalkd, then tried to
fired up the new version I kept getting the "AppleTalk not up! Child
exited with 1" error which I have read about. I checked the logfiles and
found this error message:

Dec 2 16:29:12 wtlinux atalkd[20955]: restart
Dec 2 16:29:13 wtlinux atalkd[20955]: bind 46672.94:6: Address already in
use

After trying about everything but rebooting, I did just that: reboot.
When the netatalk stuff came up, the new version started up without a
hitch. Is there some better way to fix this bind problem? Since the
machine is a web and file server, I don't want to have to reboot everytime
I want to restart netalk...

Also, I was using a RPM package of netatalk-1.3.3-8, which installed all
of the config files under /etc.  I compiled and installed the 1.4b2
version under /usr/local/atalk/*, and just copied the AppleVolumes.default
and AppleVolumes.system files  to /usr/local/atalk/etc

However, now the only directory that shows up when a user logs via
netatalk is their home dir.

Here is the AppleVolumes.default file
------------------------------------------------------
~ HOME 
/usr/local/www/docs WWW 
/usr/local/www/cgi CGI 
/usr/local/www/docs/andrea ANDREA
/usr/local/www/docs/webcd WEB-CD
/home/backups BACKUPS 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl PERLLIBS

Is there something else I am missing to make these entries show up in the
chooser? It worked fine under 1.3.3

Thanks!
