10 Q: I get a "socket: Invalid argument" error when trying to start netatalk
11 under Linux. What is causing this?
12 A: The "appletalk" and "ipddp" kernel modules have to be installed under
13 linux for netatalk to function. The appletalk module can be automatically
14 loaded by adding the line "alias net-pf-5 appletalk" to the
15 /etc/modules.conf file. Issuing the command "modprobe (module)" will
16 load the module for the current session.
18 Q: netatalk works over Appletalk, but my IP connections are refused, even
19 though I have enabled them in the configuration files.
20 A: If tcp_wrappers support is compiled into netatalk, access has to be
21 granted in /etc/hosts.allow for netatalk to successfully accept IP
22 connections. This can be done by the addition of the line:
23 afpd: 127. xxx.xxx.xxx. (whatever other subnets)
