Subject: [netatalk-admins] Atalk over TCP/IP only?

when using AppleTalk over TCP/IP only with Netatalk (i.e. no Ethertalk
access is needed) do you still need some kernel that supports AppleTalk?
I'd suppose atalkd etc. are then just ordinary TCP/IP apps.
Is that assumption correct? Can Asun's version of Netatalk be configured to
use AppleTalk over TCP/IP only? If so, is it possible to install it on some
UNIX whose kernel does not support AppleTalk, e.g. SGI IRIX?
Is there any disadvantage of using AppleTalk over TCP/IP with a MacOS 8.1
client that uses TCP/IP anyway? Can you mount volumes from more than just
one server at a time using AppleTalk over TCP/IP? Can you mix AppleTalk over
TCP/IP and Ethertalk (from the client's perspective)?
Another question: would netatalk using AppleTalk over IP require privileged
prots, or could it in principle be ran under a non-root id, assuming you
only want to serve files for which that user has access permissions?
