Subject: [netatalk-admins] AppleVolumes.default getting ignored?

Hi,
I have installed netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a18.2.tar.gz on quite a number of
Linux Red Hat 5.0 hosts with no problem.
Suddenly, on my latest installation, it seems that AppleVolumes.default is
being ignored, and instead, the user's home directory is being exported
something I had tried to disable by omitting the ~ line.
Any ideas why this could happen?
It seems like it's not a path issue since afpd.conf is being found in the
same directory as the file that's being ignored.
-c
Configuration notes:
On each host, I use essentially the same afpd.conf and AppleVolumes.*
files, namely:
afpd.conf:
- -tcp -noddp -noauthall -nocleartxt -rand2num -randnum -noguest
-nosavepassword -nosetpassword -loginmesg "Hi Mom."
(where the loginmesg is just for debugging to make sure the afpd.conf is
not being ignored -- and it is not.)
and AppleVolumes.default contains:
/VolumeName VolumeName
.txt TEXT R*ch
.TXT TEXT R*ch
.html TEXT R*ch
.HTML TEXT R*ch
.map TEXT R*ch
.pl TEXT R*ch
.pm TEXT R*ch
.PL TEXT R*ch
.cgi TEXT R*ch

.ps 8BIM 8BIM
.fp3 FMP3 FMP3
.FP3 FMP3 FMP3
... and the /VolumeName directory *does* exist.
The AppleVolumes.system is the stock one from the netatalk distribution.
Below I have included a message from Bill Butler who had a similar problem,
but I could not see that anyone followed up. It is included for reference.
