Problems with Netatalk

[mike950]

Hi

I have installed netatalk on my linux box, while i can logon and use it properly i can only access the server if i click on IPshare and and enter the ip number of the server. Is there anyway i make the server appear when i click on apple share icon.

Thanks Michael

You need to use nbprgstr to register a host name for apple talk heres how:

nbprgstr HOST:Workstation
nbprgstr HOST:AFPServer

replace HOST with your HOSTNAME or whatever you wnat, leave Workstation and AFPServer alone or it won't work. You can put this in your rc.atalk script, /after/ atalkd is started

If you have more trouble post again!

Thanks for your reply i had to put the project of hold for a few weeks but now i back on it.

I am having troubles finding the entries to changed.

I found 2 places which might be right.

/etc/atalk/config
ATALK_NAME='echo ${HOSTNAME}| cut-d. -f1'

and

/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91atalk
nbprgstr -p 4 "${ATALK_NAME}:Workstation"
nbprgstr -p 4 "${ATALK_NAME}:netatalk"

Am i close or hopelessly lost?

Just for the record it have installed rpm package of sendmail onto Redhat 6.0

Thanks again
