Hi.

 I'm new to NetAtalk-list but there are a couple problems to
 2.1.0-10pre and 2.1.0-11. I'm trying to move away from Xinet KaShare
 as I'm not exacly sattisfied with their support.

 System: Sparc Ultra1 with Solaris 2.6, Macs with MacOS8.1 with
 Appleshare client 3.8 & MacOS7.5.5 & client 3.7.4

 *) When logging into the system, the connection gets "unexpecetly
    broken" after verifying the user and password is correct. Not that
    it correctly says that the password is incorrect if I write
    a wrong password. This on the TCP-connection.

   The only thing found in the logs is:
Oct 14 12:08:17 helpdesk1 afpd[196]: server_child[1] 602 done
Oct 14 12:08:24 helpdesk1 afpd[603]: ASIP session:548(1) from
130.236.240.73:2049(2)
Oct 14 12:08:24 helpdesk1 afpd[196]: server_child[2] 603 killed

    When tring to do a "old-style" ethertalk-connection, the chooser
    gets stuck for a long time and then gets the same error.

Oct 14 12:13:49 helpdesk1 afpd[636]: session from 61450.88:244 on
61448.184:129
Oct 14 12:13:49 helpdesk1 afpd[196]: server_child[0] 636 killed

As a cheavat I can add that if you log in as guest, everything seems
to work! So the problem is somewhere near after the password
verifikation.

 *) Incorrect assumptions:
    Makefile and the *.c-files assume that kerberos is in a separate
    directory, that is not in the case of at least solaris2.6 there
    includes are in /usr/include/kerberos and the lib files are in
    /usr/lib

 *) smaller problem:

   *) kinstall insorrectly assumes that /etc/rc*/*atalk files doesn't
      exists and thus fails when it tries to make links in those
      places. A check should be done before or use "ln -sf"

 *) Question:

     LPRng printspooler people has a patch against netatalk-1.4b2 for
     it to work correctly with it, is this in the asun source-tree ?
 
     the patch can be found under
     ftp.astart.com /pub/LPRng/TOOLS/netatalk

 I will probably look into quotas under solaris later on when the
 problems above are solved.

So much from me for the moment.
