I am having trouble getting the precompiled binary of afpfs to work on my
RH 5.0 system. I have to us the "-f" option with insmod to get the afpfs
module to load (since it is looking for kernel 2.0.30 and I have 2.0.32)
When I try and mount a remote share I get this error
----------------------------------------------------
[root@wtlinux:/scratch/afpfs] ./afpmount -u wtuser /mnt/ashare Wizard test
Enter the server password:
afpmount: unexpected AppleTalk error (-9)
----------------------------------------------------
I tried compiling the afpfs source but it dies complaining of parse errors
in /usr/include/linux/atalk.h
Anyone else got afpfs compiled and running on a Redhat 5.0 system?
