I'm trying to install netatalk on a SUN machine running SUNOS and I'm facing
some problems. This is what I did to install:

%uname -a
SunOS cvp12 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m
%cd /usr/share/sys/sun4m/conf
%cp GENERIC GENERIC.ATALK
%echo "options VDDRV" >>GENERIC.ATALK
%/etc/config GENERIC.ATALK
%cd ../GENERIC.ATALK
%make #make the new kernel
%mv /vmunix /vmunix.org #save the old kernel
%mv ./vmunix / #new kernel
%cd /etc
%cat >> services #Update the services database
rtmp 1/ddp # Routing Table Maintenance Protocol
nbp 2/ddp # Name Binding Protocol
echo 4/ddp # AppleTalk Echo Protocol
zip 6/ddp # Zone Information Protocol

%echo "sh ~ravi/atalk/etc/rc.atalk" >>/etc/rc.local
%reboot

All of the above steps were executed as a superuser.

When the system is rebooted, I get the following messages:

Cannot write into "/user/ravi/atalkd/etc/l<somefilenamehere>. I have
changed the permissions of /user/ravi/atalkd/etc/ to 777. This error message
is printer when trying to execute the statement:

if [ -f /user/ravi/atalk/etc/netatalk.o ]; then
        /usr/etc/modload -sym /user/ravi/atalk/etc/netatalk.o;

When

if [ -f /user/ravi/atalk/etc/atalkd ]; then
        /user/ravi/atalk/etc/atalkd; echo -n ' atalkd'
is executed, the following error message is printed:

config file is (null)
socket: Protocol not supported

Can I get some help here? Have I missed any steps here?

Thanks and Best Regards, Ravi
