I saw this problem too. The rpm from the RedHat site appears to be broken, or
not to work under RH 5.0. The solution is to get the 1.4b2 source and
re-compile. Be sure to apply various patches, including the "macos8" patch that
is at the umich site, and the "RH 5.0" patch from Anders Brownworth's netatalk
page. The URLs are:
for the 1.4b2 source and patches:
<http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk>
for the RH 5.0 patch and general help getting things going:
<http://www.thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk>
I did keep one piece from the rpm, that is the /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk startup
script, which works with RedHat's "chkconfig" and is (I think) a better way to
start/stop netatalk than the scripts that come with the stuff from umich.
Hope this helps!
