RE: [cobalt-users] Help with Apple file share on Qube3

["Ken Montenegro" <kmontenegro@xxxxxxxxx>]

This has happened and the only option, in my case, was to access the network
at a unused time, around midnight, and reboot remotely.  It did work.  But
there are still times when a computer will sporadically loose its atalk
connection.  "The appletalk server has unexpectedly shut down".

I would suggest a reboot.

Subject: [cobalt-users] Help with Apple file share on Qube3


Macs on our network are not able to see shares on our Qube3. Windows boxes
are.

Whatever changed, happened overnight. I am able to see all shares with a
PC, but when I try to connect with a Mac, I get the following error (OS X)
: No file services are available at the URL: ... Server returned error:
1028. A google search translates this as an appletalk error meaning
"nbpNotFound Name not found on remove".

Active Monitor shows a grey ball for AppleShare: no information. I stopped
and restarted Apple file sharing in the GUI, with no effect. ps -aux shows
one useful process:
root     14741  0.0  0.1  1636  776 ?        S    09:17   0:00
/usr/sbin/afpd -U

/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk status returns "atalkd (pid 14733) is running..."
(I'm not clear on why this doesn't show in the PS list, maybe because I
ran ps as admin and not root.)

I searched the list archive for "apple file sharing" and found some posts
which, while interesting and informative, did not address this problem.
Searching for "no file services available" produced more results, but they
were even less applicable.

Any leads on where to look next would be appreciated. I would like to
avoid rebooting the Qube completely, but that may have to be my next step.
