That was surprisingly smooth! This will definitely benefit us in the short to mid term. I pushed an update to the wiki page with this new status of the patch. https://netatalk.io/docs/AppleTalk-Kernel-Module

Excellent job, thank you for filing this patch, and keeping the DDP dream alive!

Thanks for the heads-up. I've added a brief blurb to the netatalk wiki page on this topic: https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/wiki/AppleTalk-Kernel-Module Please feel free to flesh out the description of the problem, if you can think of a better way to phrase it.

Thanks for being part of making Vette!, Joel! My brother and I also played this game, on the family Performa 400 (LC II) circa 1993, but we were mature enough to take turns peacefully. ;) The digital "open world" and exotic San Fran setting certainly inspired mystery and wonder in our...

Good stuff, thanks for sharing your setup! In particular, it’s encouraging to hear that the 2.x webmin module is actually being used in the wild. :) I think your first point is actually a bug in the webmin packaging itself. The webmin deb should handle the full dependency tree when being...

If someone wants a more light-weight OS for their netatalk 2.x server, I've confirmed that Alpine Linux in its standard configuration happily supplies the appletalk kernel module when needed. I wrote a guide here: https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/wiki/Installing-Netatalk-2-on-Alpine-Linux...

Great job! I'm glad that netatalk is being useful for you.

If "asip-status" doesn't work please try "asip-status.pl" which is the older name of the tool.

TL;DR: You need to edit your afpd.conf file and then restart afpd. If you don't know where your afpd.conf file is, you can run "afpd -v" to see where it is located. Then edit afpd.conf and remove "uams_guest.so" from the list of UAMs. Finally restart afpd. If you are running Raspberry Pi OS...

You can also go back to the source: the University of Melbourne FTP server is still online after all these years: ftp://munnari.oz.au/mac/

Right, but the contemporaneous Darwin atalk kernel module doesn’t have such limitations itself, IINM. So you could potentially link netatalk with it. Which I think was done back in the days. So if @robin-fo ‘s userland stack can potentially ported to 10.6 and later, and a usable Darwin atalk...

Well done! How did you figure out which IC was bad?

AppleTalk support in the Darwin kernel lasted until 10.5. The atalk kernel module source code remained in the Mac OS source tree until 10.8 IIRC. Netatalk versions of that era could run on Mac OS X Server, if the built-in AFP server wasn’t capable enough for your needs. :)

You did it! When can we expect a PR against the netatalk project? ;) (The answer is obviously: when it works properly. ) Regardless, this is a noteworthy milestone in your project. I’m looking forward to seeing your next update.

This is very, very neat! It blows my mind to see these enthusiast made pieces of software come together like this on top of the latest macOS. BTW you're exposing some personal information in this video. Just in case you didn't notice and would like to redact it. ^^;

A stable Netatalk 2.3.2 release has been tagged and released now: https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/releases/tag/netatalk-2-3-2 All of the recent feedback and bug reports in this thread should have been resolved now. One last minute breaking change: I renamed the macOS launchd daemon to...

Yay! You're welcome. Mind you, this is only a workaround. Apple may decide to shut down this override in the future. Reading up on the various blog posts on the topic, what I understand is that *NIX-style forking is inherently incompatible with multi-threading. If you fork a multi-threaded...

@robin-fo The new macOS init script is in the bleeding edge 2.3 branch now. You enable it by passing the newly added "--enable-macos" parameter to the configure script. It comes with two facilities: a "netatalkd" wrapper script for starting cnid_metad and afpd with the right env variable, and a...

You do need AppleTalk to connect with System 7.0 clients and earlier. Later Mac OS versions are able to run AppleShare Client software that supports TCP. If of course is “nicer” to have AppleTalk for any classic Mac OS client since you get the handy automatic service discovery and some other...

We have a workaround now thanks to @dgsga – see https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/issues/755 And yes, it turns out this is Apple being obnoxious. TIL: they have been gradually tightening security around forking applications in macOS for years now. We were the latest victims. TL;DR: you need...
