Subject: Re: Two servers --getting closer

I actually saw something similar to this myself when I was setting up my second server. Check and see what the actual host names of each machine are, I believe this is where Netatalk generates its server signature from. If both servers are NOT set up to use TCP/IP and think their IP addresses are 127.0.0.1 (localhost) they are probably both going to return the same signature.
Places to look:
In /etc look for a file called HOSTNAME. Check and see what's in there, and make sure it's different for each server.
Same with /etc/hosts
check your atalk/config file, it is probably set up to set the server name to whatever the contents of your HOSTNAME file are (the AppleTalk signature is this name, AFAIK)

Well, I think I'm getting closer...
On Jon Newman's suggestions, I downloaded ServerInfo. (Cool little utility,
BTW. Thanks!)
Indeed, both of the linux boxes have the same server signature:
0x00017e0000017e0000017e0000017e00
Now the question is, How the hell does one change this? Is it something
compiled in or is it set somewhere? I don't see anything that looks like it
would help in the config files.
BTW: what does the "server_quantum" flag do in the afpd.conf file do? (I
tried changing this in hopes it might be the signature--no luck.)
Thanks!
