Thanks Peter! Once these changes are made, it's equally difficult to install CAP on FreeBSD or Linux. Netatalk requires either a hardware router or UAR (a software router from the CAP package) running in the network. UAR can, as stated here, either run on another machine, or on the same machine as netatalk BUT on a different network interface. The difference between the two packages are those of speed versus features. CAP has more features but netatalk wins the speed competition. Some have stated that CAP scales better; I can't judge that. I love the features of CAP and it's very fast in my setup (compares favourable with the Windows NT server). Hope this helps! Palle PS.
