.TH afpd.conf 5 05\ Jan\ 2004 "Netatalk 2.0-alpha1" .SH NAME afpd.conf \- Configuration file used by afpd(8) to determine the setup of its file sharing services .SH DESCRIPTION \fB:ETCDIR:/afpd.conf\fR is the configuration file used by afpd to determine the behavior and configuration of the different virtual file servers that it provides. .PP Any line not prefixed with # is interpreted. The configuration lines are composed like: server name [ options ] If a \- is used instead of a server name, the default server is specified. Server names must be quoted if they contain spaces. The path name must be a fully qualified path name, or a path name using either the ~ shell shorthand or any of the substitution variables, which are listed below. .PP .RS \fBNote\fR .PP Each server has to be configured on a \fBsingle\fR line. .RE The possible options and their meanings are: .SH APPLEVOLUMES\ FILES .TP \-defaultvol \fI[path]\fR Specifies path to AppleVolumes.default file (default is \fB:ETCDIR:/AppleVolumes.default\fR). .TP \-systemvol \fI[path]\fR Specifies path to AppleVolumes.system file (default is \fB:ETCDIR:/AppleVolumes.system\fR). .TP \-[no]uservol Enables or disables reading of the users' individual volumes file entirely. .TP \-[no]uservolfirst Enables or disables reading of the users' individual volumes file before processing the global \fBAppleVolumes.default\fR file. .SH AUTHENTICATION\ METHODS .TP \-uamlist \fI[uams list]\fR Comma separated list of UAMs. (The default is uams_guest.so,uams_clrtxt.so,uams_dhx.so). The most commonly used UAMs are: .RS .TP uams_guest.so allows guest logins .TP uams_clrtxt.so (uams_pam.so or uams_passwd.so) Allow logins with passwords transmitted in the clear. .TP uams_randum.so allows Random Number and Two\-Way Random Number Exchange for authentication (requires :ETCDIR:/afppaswd file) .TP uams_dhx.so (uams_dhx_pam.so or uams_dhx_passwd.so) Allow Diffie\-Hellman eXchange (DHX) for authentication. .TP uam_gss.so Allow Kerberos V for authetication (optional) .RE .TP \-uampath \fI[path]\fR Sets the default path for UAMs for this server (default is /usr/local/netatalk\-head\-testing//etc/netatalk/uams). .TP \-k5keytab \fI[path]\fR, \-k5service \fI[service]\fR, \-k5realm \fI[realm]\fR These are required if the server supports the Kerberos 5 authentication UAM. .SH CODEPAGE\ OPTIONS With OS X Apple introduced the AFP3 protocol. One of the big changes was, that AFP3 uses Unicode names encoded as UTF\-8 decomposed. Previous AFP/OS versions used codepages, like MacRoman, MacCentralEurope, etc. .PP To be able to serve AFP3 and older clients at the same time, afpd needs to be able to convert betweend UTF\-8 and Mac codepages. Even OS X clients partly still rely on codepages. As there's no way, afpd can detect the codepage a pre AFP3 client uses, you have to specify it using the \fB\-maccodepage\fR option. The default is MacRoman, which should be fine for most western users. .PP As afpd needs to interact with unix operating system as well, it need's to be able to convert from UTF\-8/MacCodepage to the unix codepage. By default afpd uses the systems LOCALE, or ASCII if your system doesn't support locales. You can set the unix codepage using the \fB\-unixcodepage\fR option. If you're using extended characters in the configuration files for afpd, make sure your terminal matches the \fB\-unixcodepage\fR. .TP \-unixcodepage [CODEPAGE] Specifies the servers unix codepage, e.g. "ISO\-8859\-15" or "UTF8". This is used to convert strings to/from the systems locale, e.g. for authenthication, server messages and volume names. Defaults to LOCALE if your system supports it, otherwise ASCII will be used. .TP \-maccodepage [CODEPAGE] Specifies the mac clients codepage, e.g. "MAC_ROMAN". This is used to convert strings and filename to the clients codepage for OS9 and Classic, i.e. for authentication and SIGUSR2 messaging. This will also be the default for the volumes maccharset. Defaults to MAC_ROMAN. .SH PASSWORD\ OPTIONS .TP \-loginmaxmail [number] Sets the maximum number of failed logins, if supported by the UAM .TP \-passwdfile [path] Sets the path to the Randnum UAM passwd file for this server (default is /usr/local/netatalk\-head\-testing//etc/netatalk/afppasswd). .TP \-passwdminlen [number] Sets the minimum password length, if supported by the UAM .TP \-[no]savepassword Enables or disables the ability of clients to save passwords locally .TP \-[no]setpassword Enables or disables the ability of clients to change their passwords .SH TRANSPORT\ PROTOCOLS .TP \-[no]ddp Enables or disables AFP\-over\-Appletalk. If \-proxy is specified, you must instead use \-uamlist "" to prevent DDP connections from working. .TP \-[no]tcp Enables or disables AFP\-over\-TCP .TP \-transall Make both available (default) .SH TRANSPORT\ OPTIONS .TP \-ddpaddr \fI[ddp address]\fR Specifies the DDP address of the server. The default is to auto\-assign an address (0.0). This is only useful if you are running on a multihomed host. .TP \-fqdn \fI[name:port]\fR Specifies a fully\-qualified domain name, with an optional port. This is discarded if the server cannot resolve it. This option is not honored by AppleShare clients <= 3.8.3. This option is disabled by default. .TP \-ipaddr \fI[ip address]\fR Specifies the IP that the server should respond to (the default is the first IP address of the system). This option also allows one machine to advertise TCP/IP for another machine. .TP \-port \fI[port number]\fR Allows a different TCP port to be specified for AFP\-over\-TCP. The default is 548. .TP \-proxy Runs an AppleTalk proxy server for the specified AFP\-over\-TCP server. If the address and port aren't given, then the first IP address of the system and port 548 will be used. If you don't want the proxy server to act as a DDP server as well, set \-uamlist "". .TP \-server_quantum \fI[number]\fR This specifoes the DSI server quantum. The minimum value is 303840 (0x4A2E0). The maximum value is 0xFFFFFFFFF. If you specify a value that is out of range, the default value will be set (which is the minimum). .TP \-noslp Do not register this server using the Service Location Protocol (if SLP support was compiled in). This is useful if you are running multiple servers and want one to be hidden, perhaps because it is advertised elsewhere. .SH MISCELLANEOUS\ OPTIONS .TP \-admingroup \fI[group]\fR Allows users of a certain group to be seen as the superuser when they log in. This option is disabled, by default. .TP \-authprintdir \fI[path]\fR Specifies the path to be used (per server) to store the files required to do CAP\-style print authentication which papd will examine to determine if a print job should be allowed. These files are created at login and if they are to be properly removed, this directory probably needs to be umode 1777. .RS \fBNote\fR \fB\-authprintdir\fR will only work for clients connecting via DDP. Most modern Clients will use TCP. .RE .TP \-client_polling With this switch enabled, afpd won't advertise that it is capable of server notifications, so that connected clients poll the server every 10 seconds to detect changes in opened server windows. \fINote\fR: Depending on the number of simultaneously connected clients and the network's speed, this can lead to a significant higher load on your network! .TP \-cnidserver \fI[ipaddress:port]\fR Specifies the IP address and port of a cnid_metad server, required for CNID bdb backend. Defaults to localhost:4700. .TP \-guestname \fI[name]\fR Specifies the user that guests should use (default is "nobody"). The name should be quoted. .TP \-icon Use the platform\-specific icon .TP \-loginmesg \fI[message]\fR Sets a message to be displayed when clients logon to the server. The message should be in \fBunixcodepage\fR and should be quoted. Extended characters are allowed. .TP \-nodebug Disables debugging .TP \-sleep \fI[number]\fR AFP 3.x waits number hours before disconnecting clients in sleep mode. Default is 10 hours .TP \-signature { user: | host } Specify a server signature. This option is useful while running multiple independent instances of afpd on one machine (eg. in clustered environments, to provide fault isolation etc.). "host" signature type allows afpd generating signature automatically (based on machine primary IP address). "user" signature type allows administrator to set up a signature string manually. Examples: three servers running on one machine: first \-signature user:USERS second \-signature user:USERS third \-signature user:ADMINS First two servers will act as one logical AFP service \- if user logs in to first one and then connects to second one, session will be automatically redirected to the first one. But if client connects to first and then to third, will be asked for password twice and will see resources of both servers. Traditional method of signature generation causes two independent afpd instancesto have the same signature and thus cause clients to be redirected automatically to server (s)he logged in first. .SH LOGGING\ OPTIONS .TP \-[un]setuplog " []" Specify that the given loglevel should be applied to log messages of the given logtype and that these messages should be logged to the given file. If the filename is ommited the loglevel applies to messages passed to syslog. Each logtype may have a loglevel applied to syslog and a loglevel applied to a single file. Latter \fB\-setuplog\fR settings will override earlier ones of the same logtype (file or syslog). logtypes: Default, Core, Logger, CNID, AFPDaemon loglevels: LOG_SEVERE, LOG_ERROR, LOG_WARN, LOG_NOTE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG, LOG_DEBUG6, LOG_DEBUG7, LOG_DEBUG8, LOG_DEBUG9, LOG_MAXDEBUG Example: \-setuplog "logger log_maxdebug /var/log/netatalk\-logger.log" \-setuplog "afpdaemon log_maxdebug /var/log/netatalk\-afp.log" \-unsetuplog "default level file" \-setuplog "default log_maxdebug" .SH DEBUG\ OPTIONS These options are useful for debugging only. .TP \-tickleval \fI[number]\fR Sets the tickle timeout interval (in seconds). .TP \-timeout \fI[number]\fR Specify the number of tickles to send before timing out a connection. The default is 4, therefore a connection will timeout in 2 minutes. .SH EXAMPLES \fBDefault configuration\fR .PP .nf \- \-transall \-uamlist uams_clrtxt.so,uams_dhx.so,uams_guest.so .fi .PP \fBMacCyrillic setup / UTF8 unix locale\fR .PP .nf \- \-transall \-maccodepage mac_cyrillic \-unixcodepage utf8 .fi .PP \fBSetup for Kerberos V auth\fR .PP .nf \- \-transall \-uamlist uams_clrtxt.so,uams_dhx.so,uams_guest.so,uams_gss.so \-k5service afpserver \-k5keytab /path/to/afpserver.keytab \-k5realm YOUR.REALM \-fqdn your.fqdn.namel:548 .fi .PP \fBThree servers on one machine\fR .PP .nf "Guest Server" \-uamlist uams_guest.so \-loginmesg "Welcome guest!"
