Subject: A "DHX: it doesn't work!" checklist

Since DHX appears to be a hot topic, I'm starting a DHX troubleshooting
checklist. If anything I have here is incorrect or if someone wants to
add to it, please do so. Maybe we can add this to the official netatalk
documentation.
1. Use MacOS 9 or higher, or if 8.x, be sure you're using at least
AppleShare extension version 3.8.6.
2. Check your afpd.conf file. It should contain this option:
-uamlist uams_guest.so,uams_clrtxt.so,uams_dhx.so [is the order
relevant? does anyone know?]
3. A few people have reported that openssl version 0.9.4 works, but
from my experience, 0.9.5a works when compiled from the source code.
4. If compiling netatalk from the source code, make sure that CRYPTO
indicates the base location of the openssl files. It will look for the
files in CRYPTO/lib, etc. Also, netatalk 1.4b2+asun2.1.4pre37 or higher
is recommended for this as there have been some minor updates in the
code.
NOTE: netatalk 1.4.99 (1.5 prereleases) have a configuration script which
will look for the openssl files for you and do a bunch of other
autodetecting, automatic configuration stuff. To configure and compile
netatalk 1.4.99 with default settings, execute:
autogen.sh
configure
make install
If you need to customize the compile options, configure --help will give
you a full list of parameters you can specify to alter the way netatalk
compiles.
5. If you're using PAM modules, go to the directory where your compiled
UAMs are stored and type this command:
ln -s uams_dhx.so uams_dhx_pam.so
---That's what I know about making DHX work on a Linux box. I don't know about other platforms, but it should be about the same, right?
