Hi, I have two problems with netatalk which I hope someone can help me with.
I have and old 486 running Redhat 6.0 (2.2.5-15 kernel)
with samba (2.0.7-4) and netatalk 1.4b2+asun both of
which were installed from rpms. Both Macs and PCs share
a common directory on the Linux box. This has been running
without stop for about a year.
I have now installed two more Linux boxes running Pentium
processors (one celeron 600 the other P111 733)
These are running Redhat 6.2 (2.2.14 kernel) and samba
and netatalk as the RH6.0 box.
I am also running ProFTPD on both of them without problems.
Now the problems
Problem ONE
All the Macs can see the RH6.0 box from the Chooser and can
log on as guest. But they cannot see the new boxes but can
log on as guest when the IP number is entered from the Chooser.
When I check the startup logs of them (the 6.2 boxes) I see:
atalkd: socket: invalid argument
atalkd: socket: invalid argument
atalkd: atalkd: can't get interfaces, exiting
atalk: atalkd startup failed
Despite this, I can log on as guest provided I enter the IP number.
How can I fix this? Have I provided the right info. I do not want
to recompile the kernel at this stage.
Problem TWO
I wish to restrict access to one of the machines based on IP Numbers.
This is no problem for me with samba but how do I set the config
(which config) file to do this for netatalk? I want the
(restricted) Macs to have guest access, but no access for any other Macs
I may as well make a pig of myself while I'm here.
How do I set up a config file so that a Mac can log in with a password
but be restricted to read or write priveleges?
I have read oodles of docs and .man files but some of them assume a
level of knowledge that I do not have.
Thanking you kindly
Colin
