I am actually adminstering 4 FreeBSD systems with Netatalk and need
documentation for BSD. If I could get a little push I may be able to
figure it out and then create the documentation for it.
I am just not sure where to start exactly. I install Netatalk with the
FreeBSD ports collection and I am betting that all I need to do is use a
few switches to get it all in order. I have all kinds cryptography in
place, but do not know how to tell Netatalk to use it.
If I figure it out, I would be happy to post a "How To" guide for FreeBSD.
