Finally did it. I tinkered here and there with /etc/atalk/afpd.conf, atalk.conf, config and got appletalk working on my system. My computer now shows up in the chooser of the networked Macs on my school network. Better yet, I got the afpfs module working so I can now mount Mac volumes on my PC linux computer. Wonderful! At first, there seemed to be a problem...mtab was indicating that the Mac drive I was after actually was mounted but I couldn't see jack squat when I went to that mountpoint. Ended up being a "problem" with my privileges on the Mac. I gave myself read/write permission on the Mac (heh-heh) and that was it. I can navigate the Mac, move files, copy, delete, etc, on the Mac. One remaining problem. I set suid on the afpmount program in hopes of allowing non-root users the ability to mount Mac volumes but every time I try to mount a Mac volume as a user, I get a message that I "probably have to be 'root' to mount volumes". Even when I login as superuser, I get this message. So far, I have had to login to a new terminal with Ctrl-F2 as root, mount the volume, exit back to my user session, and THEN I can get to the mounted volume. Anyone have a suggestion on fixing this? Setting suid on the afpmount binary didn't help. -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.
