Notes on configuring atalkd (from netatalk package) to provide
Appleshare file service to macs from Linux server.

Configuration files are in:  /etc/atalk.

Make sure that appletalk service starts up:

(chkconfig --list | grep atalk;  should be ...  3:on  4:on  5:on  )


There is one file to edit:  AppleVolumes.default

It starts out with:  last line having one character:   ~
This means that home directories will be mounted
(/home/username when log into the Appleshare server (from Chooser
and Appleshare) as user named "username".
Remember:  macs need unencrypted passwords, so if you have samba
file service, too, then tell smb.conf   encrypt passwords = no
and regedit windows clients to say:   EnablePlainTextPasswords = 0000001

Now, to have additional directories mounted as volumes, add lines
like the following to end of: AppleVolumes.default:

/home/staff access=@staff

#volume format:
# path [name] [casefold=x] [codepage=y] [options=z,l,j] \
#	[access=a,@b,c,d] [dbpath=path] [password=p]
