Subject: [netatalk-admins] netatalk MacOS 7.6 problems

Hi!
I find that my MacOS 8 clients connect fine to my netatalk afpd,
but 7.6 machines don't -- I get "no response from server". I'm using
netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a18.2. On RedHat-5.0 on a PPro.
I see that other people have had the same problem, and a very
intriguing answer came from Jochen Haeberle <joh@MIDRAS.de>:

The problem is that I'm not sure what Jochen means.
I used to have an empty atalkd.conf. I've added (hoping this is
what he meant) one line:
eth0 -phase 2 -addr 852.118 -zone "Psych"
But this hasn't solved the problem. I've also tried
eth0 -phase 2 -net 852-854 -addr 852.118 -zone "Psych"
and
eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 852-854 -addr 852.118 -zone "Psych"
But again, no dice. In the first case, nothing changes, and in the
second, the machine doesn't show up in the chooser at all.
Is there some file I don't know about which talks about zones?
Thanks!
