Thanks for the quick response. Any suggestion or just a different
perspective helps.
I have been using YaST2 for configuration and did not see Netatalk anywhere
in either its Network configuration or Software installation modules. No
łn package section˛ you mentioned.
I only got into compiling by following setup instructions. Believe me, I
sure didnąt want to.
After the installation...
I do have /etc/init.d/init.d/atalk (yes the init.d is a subdirectory of the
other init.d).
In /etc/atalk/ there are several configuration files including
AppleVolumes.default
I do not have a /sbin/init.d/ directory only a /sbin/init.d.readme. It is
dated 11/15/2000 and in the first sentence indicates łThe scripts for
controlling the system are placed in /etc/init.d/ (they have been moved
accordingly to the Linux Standard Base (LSB) specification.)˛.
Is that relocation one of the reasons for the differences Iąve seen in
locations mentioned in Netatalk documentation?
Thanks again for the guidance.
