Problems with afpd option ...

[Ralf Krause-Dietering]

Hi,   I am trying to set up my Linux box as a CDROM server for Mac using kernel 2.3.39 and netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3-42.   Mounting the HFS CDs works fine, my Mac can access to the files on the CD, but all files are listed as generic documents - they haven't got any type or creator.   Mounting the HFS-CD with "-o afpd" or "-o fork=netatalk" brings up the problem, that the CD is shown in the Mac's chooser only in grey characters and not accessable.   I read in the mailing lists, that there were problems with kernels 2.2.x: The afpd-options doesn't work with these kernels. But doesn't it work with kernel 2.3.39, too?
