I'm a relative Linux newbie, and was wondering if someone could help me set
it up so that netatalk runs automatically after a reboot. The installer did
not set that part up completely. What it is doing now, is a partial startup.
Immediately after booting up, if I do:
ps uwax | grep atalkd
I get something like:
root 3864 0.0 0.0 1184 88 ? S Jul05 0:00
/usr/local/atalk/etc/atalkd
However, I cannot access the computer from any macs on the network. :/
Just in case anyone is wondering...
# find /etc/rc.d/ -name atalk
gives this:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk
Someone suggested I look at ntsysv, but it didn't list atalk, so I am lost
there.
if I examine
at /var/log/messages, see:

Looks ok to me, so then why no access?
If I then do:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk stop
I get:
# stopping appletalk daemons:[ OK ]
[FAILED]
What the second FAILED means, I don't know. But if I then do:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk start
I get (after some moments):
# starting appletalk daemons: atalkd nbprgstr papd afpd.
It takes a while (30 seconds or so). But after that, I can access the
computer from any mac on the network.
Something interesting: after all of this, if I do:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk stop
I get:
# stopping appletalk daemons:[ OK ]
[ OK ]
Aha...it didn't fail on the second thing.
I hope this provides some clue as to my problem. And I hope someone can
give me a clue as to why this is happening,
JR
