Netatalk 2.0 MUST BE INCLUDED in the next release!!!!


Netatalk 1.5 is diabolical for OS X.x, — if lots of files and folders are dragged and dropped (like more than about, say, one file) then files can get put in hidden directories, (.Appledouble) (and when they go 'poof' before your eyes, when one clicks on them) and not only that, differing files have their names and content mixed up!!!! I had to go in as root and clear the lot out.

* Or Include nettalk as a legacy system, installed but not running as a default!!!! As OS X can use  samba.

HOW do I turn netatalk off????

* Or allow ibay access via sftp other than as the root.

Using mac os 10.3.9

I am just testing SME at this point.

found a netatalk 2.0 rpm, but the cascading dependancies scared me silly.

How do I turn netalk off for good?
How do I nuke netalk 1.5?

It should be an option off by default in the config text shell.

You could develop the netatalk 2.0 RPM's instead of shouting that it must be included in the next release.  After all, this is still a community supported distro and it's FREE.  You get what you get unless you want to develop something to further expand it.  Look at SME 7 alpha.  I believe netatalk 2.0.2 is included.  You could test this and provide feedback and MAC expertise is lean.

To turn it off, do this - /sbin/e-smith/config setprop atalk status disabled

sorry, if I sounded too consumeristic, hassles of migrating, but that's no excuse really

i feel probly chastened

 look SME is great, and when my expertise in sme, linux, is competent enough, after the migration to SME, there is no doubt about returning some energy to SME

developing a rpm for netatalk 2.0 is beyond my league as a linux newbie at the moment. the cascading subdependencies were very scary, especially when trying to get ready to migrate

current workaround is ban file sharing access (by telling no one0 and getting them to use ftp clients to drag and drop.

thanks for the command too
