Hi All.
I'm a new FreeBSD administrator, and I have to make the UNIX box
do apple file serving for a whole bunch of macs. Unfortunately, I haven't
had any success getting Netatalk working. I'm running FreeBSD release 4.2
on a Pentium 166mhz Toshiba Infinia 7160, with some 32 megs RAM and a 1.6
gig HD. I also have two network cards on the machine, with bridging
support enabled in the kernel. I enabled netatalk support in the kernel,
as per instructions, and installed netatalk 1.4b2 from the FreeBSD ports
collection. The whole installation process seemed to go smoothly, but I get a
whole lot of error messages at startup, when the computer tries to
initialize netatalk. Here's what it looks like:
Local package initialization: netatalk280.161: attribute not found.
bind: Can't assign requested address
bind: Can't assign requested address
May 17 11:26:01 un papd[238]: atp_open: Can't assign requested address
May 17 11:26:01 un afpd[240]: main: atp_open: Can't assign requested
address.
After looking through the archive of this mailing list, I saw a that a few
people who were using FreeBSD and netatalk with two network cards were
having what looked like similar problems. I tried some of the fixes
that had been suggested to them, but unfortunately had no luck. Anyway,
thanks in advance for any ideas people have.
Thanks.
