the message: "afpd[6909]: main: atp_open: Can't assign requested
address" means the requested address that can't be assigned is the
appletalk address. the message goes away when you start atalkd, because
then afpd has something to bind to.
one way to tell if afpd ahs indeed bound to port 548 is to telnet to
that port and see if you get an answer. should look something like this:
$ telnet x.x.x.x 548
Trying x.x.x.x ...
Connected to <machine name>.
Escape character is '^]'.
also, just so we're all clear, when you say "Just want to do appletalk
over TCP/IP", don't you mean appleshare over tcp/ip?
also, there has been a lot of discussion in tha past about properly
configured /etc/hosts files. is the interface you want afpd to bind to
named in /etc/hosts? it might be helpful to make sure both the client
and the server have proper forward & reverse dns entries, or at least
/etc/hosts entries.
