/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk start

is probably what you are looking for.

As for the Appletalk support, it may be in a module, so hopefully it
will auto-load when needed. If not, you will need to compile it in.

Anyway, try the command and report back any errors.

Subject: Netatalk on SuSE Linux 7.2 going nowhere

I'm a newbie using SuSE Linux 7.2. All I want is to use Netatalk to
exchange files with my Mac. Maybe more later, but keep Appletalk
simple for
now.

I quickly got the Ethernet setup and was browsing the web with the
easy SuSE
configuration. The next step was 1.4 & 1.5 Netatalk. Compile,
install,
etc. I screwed things up and had to re-install Linux in its entirety
a
couple of times.

Okay then it was 1.5pre6-1mdk.1586.rpm. It certainly was a lot
easier in
the rpm format. The installed files seemed to end up where they
should
according to the package's default locations. But "atalk start"
commands
still end-up with "Command not found".

I'm just looking for the simplest Appletalk setup to start with.
What am I
missing?

Iıve ³read the manual² but most of the documentation is over-whelming
with
options for a newbie. Then there are the differences between docs in
instructions and file locations that donıt help.

Before installing Netatalk and re-installing Linux I swear that that
"dmesg
| grep Apple" showed "Appletalk 0.18a for Linux NET4.0". Now there's
nothing and thatıs another element that is confusing.
