FYI: after reverting the problematic commit, my build was still going strong after 24 hours. I made a local test branch from latest `main` (with all your new Sunday commits), merged `rdmark-atalkd-rtmp-loop` into it, and rebuilt. Looks good so far. Will see if it's still up and running tomorrow!

Yes. I reverted just that commit, and atalkd has been up for ~12 hours now without a problem. Will keep an eye on it.

With 4.2.0dev, I have seen at least 2 atalkd crashes in the past 24 hours. Not sure if it's specific to the new version or just due to more zones getting added to GlobalTalk, but according to the core dump, it's crashing here: arm64# gdb atalkd /atalkd.core ... Program terminated with signal...

DDP works in NetBSD if the kernel was configured to include it. The question would be: is that support present in the kernel that Apple configured in the Airport Extreme? You can try running atalkd and if it errors out with "address family not supported" or similar message, then you would need...

Thanks, that seems to have fixed the problem! I did a meson setup --reconfigure build with the new options, including "-Dwith-quota=false", and I'm now up and running with 4.2.0dev.

If I check out the netatalk-4-1-0 tag, do meson compile -C build and meson install -C build, then start up the atalkd and netatalk services, everything works fine and clients can mount the server volumes with no problem. (This is on NetBSD.) If I check out the netatalk-4-1-1 tag, or anything...

Unfortunately I have been unable to get the main branch (4.2.0dev) to work successfully for me yet. My System 7 clients lock up at the point where the volume mount is attempted (see screenshot). At first I thought it might be something to do with the AppleDouble/ea changes you made on this...

It looks like you got rid of name and replaced it with volume name, which seems like a good choice to eliminate ambiguity. I assume that if I don't specify server name but do specify hostname then previous behavior is unchanged, but if both are specified then server name should override...

The hostname option, which is confusingly described in the docs as advertising the resolved IP address from the specified hostname, seems to be the only way to specify the server's name for AppleTalk (i.e. the name that shows up in the Chooser.) There is already an afp listen option for...

That's strange. The documentation for afp.conf says that section names are case sensitive. For the above entry, the section name [Applications] means you should be seeing Applications as the volume name (i.e. the section name minus the enclosing brackets). The path value doesn't have to contain...

Just to make sure, I set up a new Mac OS 9.2.2 install in a VM, installed QuickTime 6.0.3 on top of that (since Mac OS 9.2.2 comes with QuickTime 5), then opened the .qup update file mentioned above. It installed the QuickTime MPEG2 file into the QuickTime Extensions directory.

Files with the .component extension are for OS X and go into /Library/QuickTime/. For OS 9, you are looking for a file named "QuickTime MPEG2" that goes into :System Folder:Extensions:QuickTime Extensions:. I think you probably need to install the third download here.

That's what I thought too, but apparently I must have deselected it when I installed NetBSD because: arm64# dumpfs / | head file system: /dev/rdk1 format FFSv2 endian little-endian ... which means I didn't get extended attributes. If I had, the format would have been FFSv2ea. It looks like I...

Your pre-System 7.5 systems will almost certainly be running the version of AppleShare that was installed with them. You probably didn't install an updated Mac OS 8 or 9 version of the AppleShare client extension onto your pre-7.5 system, which I think is the edge case that this refers to. It...

For these specific images it's not a big deal, because the original disks had bad sectors and the checksum isn't going to be something you could use reliably to compare your image against someone else's copy. The images mount fine in an emulator and the files can be read. But imagine a scenario...

Thanks for taking the time to image the floppies! One thing to keep in mind next time you make Disk Copy images: they do have a resource fork where the data checksum is saved. Resource fork information is lost when you upload the file as data to a server, unless you wrap the disk image in a...

Leopard was the last version of the Mac OS to support the AppleTalk protocol stack. No version since then has the required support in the kernel, so macOS cannot run atalkd directly. When you fire up atalkd on a macOS host, it will just print an error message and exit. If you want to use a macOS...

Based on these two links, it appears they changed their name from EDUCOMP to EDUCORP around 1988. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-1987-catalog-educomp-public-1806771042 https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1988-educorp-catalog-mac-macintosh-4073672142 Was this the auction you...

Surprisingly, Internet Archive doesn't seem to have the EDUCOMP/EDUCORP disk catalogs or the shareware disk collections. They used to be everywhere, like AOL disks. I probably have some put away in a box somewhere.

EDUCOMP was a company who downloaded every piece of freeware and shareware they could find on BBS systems and internet archives, then published a catalog. You could buy disks from their catalog with collections of games, fonts, utilities, HyperCard stacks, dithered bitmap porn, you name it. It...
