.SH NAME
atalkd \- AppleTalk RTMP, NBP, ZIP, and AEP manager
.SH SYNOPSIS
atalkd is responsible for all user level
AppleTalk network management. This includes routing, name registration and
lookup, zone lookup, and the AppleTalk Echo Protocol (similar to
-\fBping\fR(8)).
-atalkd is typically started at boot time, out of
-\fB/etc/rc\fR. It first reads from its configuration file,
-\fB:ETCDIR:/atalkd.conf\fR. If there is no configuration
-file, atalkd will attempt to configure all available
-interfaces and will create a configuration file. The file consists of a
-series of interfaces, one per line. Lines with `#' in the first column
-are ignored, as are blank lines. The syntax is

Note that all fields except the interface are optional. The loopback
interface is configured automatically. If \fB\-seed\fR is
-specified, all other fields must be present. Also, atalkd
-will exit during bootstrap\%ping, if a router disagrees with its seed
-information. If \fB\-seed\fR is not given, all other information
-may be overriden during auto\-configuration. If no \fB\-phase\fR
-option is given, the default phase as given on the command line is used
-(the default is 2). If \fB\-addr\fR is given and
-\fB\-net\fR is not, a net\-range of one is assumed.

-The first \-zone directive for each interface is the
-``default'' zone. Under Phase 1, there is only one zone. Under
-Phase 2, all routers on the network are configured with the default zone
-and must agree. atalkd maps ``*'' to the
-default zone of the first interface. Note: The default zone for a machine
-is determined by the configuration of the local routers; to appear in a
-non\-default zone, each service, e.g. afpd, must
-individually specify the desired zone. See also
-\fBnbp_name\fR(3).

.SH ROUTING
If you are connecting a netatalk router to an existing AppleTalk
internet, you should first contact your local network administrators to
net\-range between 1 and 65279 (0 and 65535 are illegal, and addresses
between 65280 and 65534 are reserved for startup). It is best to choose
the smallest useful net\-range, i.e. if you have three machines on an
-Ethernet, don't chose a net\-range of 1000\-2000. Each net\-range may
-have an arbitrary list of zones associated with it.

.SH EXAMPLES
Below is an example configuration file for a sun4/40. The machine
-has two interfaces, ``le0'' and ``le1''. The
-``le0'' interface is configured automatically from other routers
-on the network. The machine is the only router for the ``le1''
-interface.
