All the appletalk kernel patches needed for netatalk are now already incorporated into FreeBSD -current (2.2 series) Unfortunatly I broke it 3 weeks ago without realising, but fixed it again yeterday. you need to look on terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu for the latest version, and get the patches refered to below.. A With the ethertalk protocol stack in place, it should be possible for CAP to be modified to take advantage of it as well as netatalk. I have netatalk working well here as long as there is a seed router already on the network. If there isn't then it has problems. I'm going to be looking at that over the next week. > Has anyone any idea what I'm doing wrong? netatalk might run for you I've looked at my home directory from a mac and printed via the unix lp daemonfrom a mac so it's pretty close. as I say.. no kernel mods needed if you pick up -current > > John Fieber wrote: > > > > In article <320A1972.41C67EA6@troutmask.apl.washington.edu>, > > "Steven G.

I'll be spending time getting some handle on netatalk this week so things should get better.. What I ned to do now is to work out a way of representing net-ranges in the BSD4.4 style radix tree used for routing.. julian
