This blog is an opportunity to clarify my thinking on a variety of issues, and, secondarily, a way to share part of my thought process and insights with anyone who finds their way here. The blog itself, and the individual posts it is constituted from, are part of an ongoing work in progress. This blog is not a resume, or part of an attempt to self-consciously craft a public persona. AFP 3.x clients always use UTF8-MAC, AFP 2.x clients use one of the Apple codepages. afpd and character sets To support new AFP 3.x and older AFP 2.x clients at the same time, afpd needs to be able to convert between the various charsets used. I live and work in and around Seattle, WA. Netatalk refers to precomposed UTF-8 as UTF8 and to decomposed UTF-8 as UTF8-MAC. AppleDB directory because after running the script, it tells you to check the permissions/owernership on the files it updated, and it is really good to know what the correct permissions were. Script /usr/share/doc/netatalk/examples/netatalk_update.shīefore you run the script, run ls -la on the target directory and pay attention to the user and group ownership on the. #NETATALK 3.X UBUNTU UPGRADE#If you have such problems, you may try to upgrade the database using the Those described in bug #200373: no files showing up in your folders. #NETATALK 3.X UBUNTU UPDATE#As Netatalk does notĪutomatically update its database, you may experience problems like This version of Netatalk use to Berkeley DB 4.7.Įarlier releases used Berkeley DB 4.2. For details, check the bian for the netatalk package, which is most likely found in ‘/usr/share/doc/netatalk/bian’. They provide a script for updating the db files, but you probably don’t know to look for it to run it manually. The next problem is that the newer versions of netatalk use a newer version of a simple database library to store Apple-specific file information. Once you’ve updated the config, restart netatalk with the following command ‘sudo /etc/init.d/netatalk restart’. The simplest solution is to edit /etc/netatalk/nf to either remove or comment out that line and just use the defaults. #NETATALK 3.X UBUNTU MAC OS X#This both produces failures when trying to load the nonexistent modules, it also means the default modules fail to load, including a new, prebuilt, module ‘uams_dhx2.so’ which supports encrypted authentication on Mac OS X 10.4 and later. The /etc/netatalk/nf file probably ends with a line like this: -transall -uamlist uams_randnum.so,uams_dhx.so -nosavepassword -advertise_ssh First, in order to support encrypted login, the custom build and configuration of netatalk loads some custom user authentication managers (‘uams’) that aren’t present in the latest packaged version of netatalk. Fortunately, the fixes are pretty easy if you’ve managed to find this blog post. Unfortunately, if you’ve previously gone to the trouble of jumping through those hoops by doing a custom compile of netatalk with openssl support, you are likely to run in to problems once you upgrade to Jaunty (and probably the soon to be released v9.10, aka Karmic Koala). As of Ubuntu 9.04 (aka Jaunty Jackelope), it is no longer necessary to jump through hoops to access files on an Ubuntu (or Debian) server from a Macintosh OS X client via netatalk.
