How To: Install Netatalk (AFP) with Encrypted Authentication

[sniffass]

Hi there, just wanted to ask something. Following this guide I have been able to compile with own netatalk package with ssl auth, which is grand. But where can I actually find this package? I don't see it anywhere, I want to save it so I don't have to recompile again in the future.
Thanks
Gabriel

Hi all

Just wanted to let you know that you can also get the ubuntu AFP server to show up in Finder on OS X under Network, just like other OS X machines do. You need to install avahi:

sudo aptitude install avahi-daemon -y

and then create a file like the following (replace vim with your editor of choice):

sudo vim /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service

In this new file add the following:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> 
<service-group>
  <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
  <service>
    <type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type>
    <port>548</port>
  </service>
</service-group>

Save it and then start avahi:

sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart

This should allow your ubuntu server to show up in Finder now.

Thanks

Is this also possible for servers that are not in the same LAN?



And I have another problem with netatalk..
the finder can't see .htaccess files that i have in my webdirectories when my mount
my homedir on my server. I use the default afpd.conf. does anyone have a solution for this?

Thx..

I have tried this but I keep getting an error:

To fix the situation please do the following:
1) Investigate the above changes and update debian/copyright as needed
2) Replace debian/copyright_hints with debian/copyright_newhints

Well the the steps are the same as yours for the most part.

I did get it working once, but I think it messed up after I restarted the system or did an update (don't remember which). Now it doesn't work and I can't get it to build with SSL. I followed the steps in this threat, the other one you posted, and this latest link, but no matter how many times I build it, it will not build with SSL. What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks for the tut - worked perfectly!

Is there a way to mount the entire hard disk (not just my home directory)?

Thanks!

I keep getting the following error message when trying to install netatalk in order to use networking with a MAC ......
sudo apt-get build-dep netatalk

You should explicitly select one to install.

I am a complete beginner on Ubuntu so any help would be appreciated. Martin
