[cobalt-users] RE: Appletalk volumes on RAQ4r

[Elwin Loomis <espam@xxxxxxx>]

This is what I had to do to make it work, I am not a raq god (in fact 
I am a newbie)..  I have a raq2 and I turned on AFP services and when 
a friend bought a raq4 I helped him get it working on his.. this 
exactly what I did to his (in fact it is the same email I sent him) I 
hope this helps. If anyone can tell me a better way to get the 
authentication to work without editing the PAM files I would love to 
know.. I know nothing about PAM..  Also another thing.. if you find 
that it hangs at the chooser after logging into a volume with the 
network arrows in the upper left on solid, you may need to go into 
the directory you were loging into with telnet and delete the network 
trash directories.. This happens sometimes when someone moves a bunch 
of files from the networked volume into the trash and then they crash 
their machine before emptying the trash.. these files become 
corrupt...

take care..

what I typed to turn on atalk

login admin
su
/sbin/chkconfig --list atalk    (this list's atalk services)
/sbin/chkconfig atalk on        (turns the puppy on)


config files are in: /etc/atalk

I edited /etc/atalk/afpd.conf and added the line:
- -nouservol -noguest

I commented out:
#:DEFAULT: options:usedots,nohex
in the two files:
/etc/atalk/AppleVolumes.default  /etc/atalk/AppleVolumes.system
I don't know what it does but it isn't in mine...

had a problem loging in.. looked like it wasn't able to authorize the user
so Jason and I thought it was a PAM authorization problem..

the pam files are in: /etc/pam.d
I copied the old files for netatalk: /etc/pam.d/netatalk and 
/etc/pam.d/netatalk.master
to /etc/pam.d/netatalk.old and /etc/pam.d/netatalk.master.old

and I replaced them with these files:
/etc/pam.d/netatalk
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so


/etc/pam.d/netatalk.master
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so

I am not a PAM god.. so, I don't know why these worked.. but they 
worked in mine..
