Netatalk on Fedora 4

[Raymond Norton]

I need to compile a new core 4 kernel with appletalk. I found this link
which describes the process:

http://www.colug.net/pipermail/colug432/2005-October/001635.html

In /boot I find initrd-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4.img


In order to recompile the kernel the doc indicates I need the src rpm. I
have found a couple list , but am not sure which one to install. 

Could use a pointer, or advice on how to set up my kernel to use
appletalk in the simplest way.

The stock Fedora Core 4 kernel support appletalk by default, you just 
have to type

modprobe appletalk

at the command line.

And what I did on one of my machines, is I edited the /etc/modprobe.conf 
file to include

alias appletalk appletalk

That should load the appletalk kernel module.

Then, just add netatalk via yum and you're all set.

What is appletalk and netatalk? What do they do?

Appletalk is Apple's old home networking protocol.  It's not used very
much anymore.

It is actually, but most Mac networks. These days it's encapsulated in 
TCP/IP
[summer@bilby log]$ grep -w 548 /etc/services
afpovertcp      548/tcp                         # AFP over TCP
afpovertcp      548/udp                         # AFP over TCP
[summer@bilby log]$

You can still get a brace of Apples and wire them together without a 
server and start sharing files, music, photos, video and what have you. 
No DHCP or DNS required. As far as I can see it's much easier to use 
than Windows networks: Windows uses DNS to find a domain controller from 
which it can find printers etc whereas the Apples running OS (including 
the latest OS X) just find them.

If you have Apple's wireless, just being in range of the Airport's 
enough, depending on whether (and how) it's configured.

Read up on Zeroconf, Rendezvous and Bonjour. Some of it's in Linux, but 
it needs spit and polish applied. Lots of spit and polish.

Netatalk is used to set up a Linux box to appear as an Apple file and
print server. In my case we needed a way to copy data from OS 9 servers
to a Linux box, which is backed up nightly using Bacula.

Does it handle resource forks properly? We'd like to do that, but I've 
not yet identified how to test it.

netatalk? yes, it has a fully functional method of handling resource
forks using berkeley db. I have retired all the old Macintosh file
servers that my customers used previously.
