I've just compiled and installed netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3 on Linux.
I'm wondering whether it is possible to use TCP/IP only, i.e. disabling
Ethertalk support? Would that even render ddp kernel support unnecessary?
I've included -noddp in afpd.conf, but still logins via Ethertalk seem
possible.
Another question: what exactly is the difference between rand2num and
randnum encrypted passwords?
With the use of ~/.passwd there's the problem that afpd tries to access that
file as root. Now if ~ is on an NFS mounted volume where root is mapped to
nobody afpd cannot access ~/.passwd. I think the proper way would be for
afpd to change its effective uid to that user for accessing ~/.passwd.
Would that be hard to add?
