Hello,

i use mac68k netbsd for a year now and i enjoy to have a unix box at home
for testing Apache perl cgi and mySQL.
I run NetBSD1.4.2 on a Quadra660AV 38 MoRam and 1 Go HD connected to my Lan
with a 10Bt hub, and 3 mac running macos8.6.
The kernel is a Generic installed from the macos installer.


Tired to telnet or ftp  beetwen a MacOS and a Unix box, i want to play
directly with a text file on the NetBSD, actually write with BBEdit a text
file residing on the NetBSD box. Is that possible ? I guess i do it every
days beetwen two Mac.

As long as it seem not to work (i did conpile the Netatalk source,
configure the *.conf file, read the online FAQ) properly, the server appear
in the MacOS chooser, but i can't connect to the folder.

the error i get is :  "afpd[221]  Can't register AFPD myserver:afpd@"
(modifing the setting change the error n=B0 ->212 215 216).

So my questions are :

1/ Do i really need to compile a new kernel, even if the config file in the
original source show that the OPTION netatalk  is ON ? The Mac68k NetBSD
says that it is not enabled... What should i trust ?

2/ can some nice soul correct the setting to share one folder.
I did set :
/etc/atalkd.conf :
mc0 -phase 2 -net 0-65554 -addr 45632.190
#i 'm going to install a second ethernet port on the machine

rc.atalk :
#commented all lines concerning printer sharing (uncomment them do not
solve the problems)

/usr/local/atalk/etc/AppleVolumes.system :
  folder -g mjm kak jmy
#etc...did change nothing else.

/usr/local/atalk/etc/.default :
#no change, i don't want to get any mac folder from NetBSD box.

/usr/local/atalk/etc/afpd.conf :
#as show in the netatalk faq
myserver -port 12000 -address 192.0.1.5

/path/to/folder/AppleVolumes :
#empty,  just the ~

3/Is timelord important for running netatalk ? what is used for ?
When i try to compile the source i get an error :

"timelord.c:23 netatalk/endian.h: No such file or directory"

and endian.h is at the proper place... I try to compile timelord in the
netatalk source or atalk directory or in /usr/local  without sucess... :(

Sorry, i know it is not a mac68k NetBSD problem :-/


So what is the mistake ? Any help  ?

MJM

4/ A last question : does really NetBSD mac68k not supporting ethernet on
scsi device ? The source conf file concerning option is on ! Where is the
truth ?...
