4 Netatalk is known to run on these operating systems:
6 OS Versions Hardware Notes
7 -- -------- -------- -----
10 FreeBSD 2.2-current PC after 12 Sept 96
13 SunOS 4.1+ Sparc kernel must have VDDRV
15 Ultrix 4.[1-4] 3100,5000
16 Tru64 4.0 Alpha afpd only
18 See README.platforms for more information.
21 $> ./configure [options]
26 ----------------------------------------------------------------
29 A. Download a binary. Several Linux distributions support netatalk
30 with a package. There are also Deb's and RPM packages available on the
31 the Netatalk Sourceforge
32 site. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/netatalk/)
34 B. Download the tarball. There are tar.gz and tar.bz2 files available
35 for download and compiling.
36 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/netatalk/)
38 C. Anonymous CVS. Downloading of the CVS source can be done quickly
41 1. make sure you have cvs installed.
43 should produce a path to cvs.
45 2. if you don't have one make a source directory. Mine is
46 ~lance/src/working/ cd to this directory.
48 3. Authenticate yourself with your local cvs and the remote cvs: (all
52 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.netatalk.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/netatalk \
55 Just hit enter for the password for the anonymous user.
57 4. Now that both machines know who you are, get the source: (all one
61 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.netatalk.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/netatalk \
64 This tells cvs what compression, (-z3) what protocol, repository and
65 where the source is (-d:protocol:host:path) what to do (co is an alias
66 for checkout) and what (netatalk) module.
68 This will create a netatalk directory and download a complete and
69 fresh copy of the netatalk source
72 ----------------------------------------------------------------
74 1. ./autogen.sh (Not necessary for a release tarball.)
75 This shell script runs libtoolize, aclocal, autoheader, automake and
76 autoconf. This sets up all the conditions for the next step. You may
77 or may not have to do this. If you downloaded a release tarball, or if
78 your download contains a ./configure file then this has already been
81 ----------------------------------------------------------------
84 This step reads the options to the ./configure program and checks your
85 system against the requirements of those options. It generally fails
86 if your system doesn't meet the requirements. You should read the
87 DEVELOPER file because some of these options require external sources
88 to function correctly. (PAM, OpenSSL, Berkeley DB, TCP Wrappers, etc).
90 Netatalk options to the ./configure script: Use ./configure --help for
93 --disable-admin-group: disable admin group (default on),
95 --disable-ddp: disable DDP support (AppleTalk),
97 --enable-debug: enable debugging messages in syslog,
99 --enable-dropkludge: enable the experimental dropbox fix
102 --with-bdb=PATH: specify path to Berkeley DB installation,
104 --with-did=[scheme]: set DID scheme (cnid,last),
105 CNID is a new scheme using Berkeley DB files to store a
106 per-volume cnid database persistently.
108 The last DID scheme recreates version 37b behaviour where
109 directory id's are incrementally calculated versus the new
110 hash method. Unfortunately for machines that have a lot of
111 devices, and/or a lot of inodes the hash can fail with
112 multiple directories resolving to the same DID.
114 --with-message-dir=path: path to message files [default is DISABLED],
116 --enable-srvloc: Turn on Server Location Protocol support,
118 --with-pam: enable pluggable authentication modules support,
119 PAM provides a flexible mechanism for authenticating
120 users. PAM was invented by SUN Microsystems.
122 Linux-PAM is a suite of shared libraries that enable the local
123 system administrator to choose how applications authenticate users.
124 You can get the Linux PAM documentation and sources from
125 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/
127 --with-shadow: enable shadow password support,
129 --disable-shell-check: disable checking for a valid shell,
131 --with-flock-locks: enable flock locks support,
133 --with-tcp-wrappers: enable TCP wrappers support.
134 Wietse Venema's network logger, also known as TCPD or
135 LOG_TCP. These programs log the client host name of incoming
136 telnet, ftp, rsh, rlogin, finger etc. requests. Security
137 options are: access control per host, domain and/or service;
138 detection of host name spoofing or host address spoofing;
139 booby traps to implement an early-warning system. TCP
140 Wrappers can be gotten at
141 ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/
143 --with-ssl-dirs=[PATH]: specify path to OpenSSL installation.
144 NOTE: This is dependent on the same directory layout as the
145 source distribution of Openssl. That is: ./include/ and
146 ./lib/ to be on the same level. Many .rpm formats do not
147 have their files laid out in this format.
148 The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a
149 robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source
150 toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3)
151 and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a
152 full-strength general purpose cryptography library.
153 This is required to enable DHX login support, which
154 will encrypt all of the passwords being sent across the
155 connection. (Some old mac clients don't support this, check
156 the FAQ for the section on AppleShare clients.)
157 Check to see if your unix has OpenSSL already, or
158 get everything at http://www.openssl.org/
160 --with-uams-path=path: path to UAMs [default=PKGCONF/uams]
162 --enable-fhs: use Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) compatibility
164 --with-ssl-dir=PATH: specify path to openssl installation (must contain
165 lib and include dirs)
167 --enable-pgp-uam: enable build of PGP UAM module
169 --enable-krb4-uam: enable build of Kerberos v4 UAM module
171 --enable-overwrite: Overwrite configuration files in PKGCONFDIR
173 ----------------------------------------------------------------
177 Compile all of the programs.
178 Note: GNU make is required to build netatalk.
180 ----------------------------------------------------------------
182 4. make install Install the programs, scripts and man pages in the
183 places specified by the ./configure process.
