hi,
you may find this interesting.
i had LOTS of problems getting the network going. arghh... but...
i found that if i unplugged my linux box from the network and started up
netatalk... '/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk start' and THEN i connected it to the
network after it had successfully assigned addresses to my ethernet
devices. everything worked. i'm just scared of turning my machine off!!
;-)
just a couple of things...
1) i think the '/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk' script needs to have a check for
the use of rmmod rather than depmod -r ?? does it make a difference ??
2) what happens when i have the linux box connected to the network and i
start 'atalk start' is that it sends LOTS of packets out (can see by the
flashing leds and ifconfig) and it tries to allocate an appletalk phase 2
addr to the interfaces without success. (tries lots of addresses!) even
though my linux box is supposed to seed the network. and finally gives up.
so i found i solution though not elegant.
later,
- Benjamin Lee
