+atalkd.conf \- Configuration file used by atalkd(8) to determine the interfaces used by the master Netatalk daemon
.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fB:ETCDIR:/atalkd.conf\fR is the configuration file used
-by atalkd to configure the Appletalk interfaces and their behavior
-
-Any line not prefixed with \fB#\fR is interpreted. The configuration lines
-are composed like:
-
-.RS
-.sp
-.I interface
-.B [
-.I options
-.B ]
-
-.sp
-.RE
-The simplest case is to have either no atalkd.conf, or to have one that
-has no active lines. In this case, atalkd should auto-discover the local
-interfaces on the machine. Please note that you cannot split lines.
-
-The interface is the network interface that this to work over, such as
-\fBeth0\fR for Linux, or \fBle0\fR for Sun.

+\fI:ETCDIR:/atalkd.conf\fR is the

+Any line not prefixed with \fI#\fR is
+interpreted. The configuration lines are composed like:

+.PP
The possible options and their meanings are:
-
-.TP
-.B -addr net.node
-Allows specification of the net and node numbers for this interface,
-specified in Appletalk numbering format (example: \fI-addr 66.6\fR).
-
-.TP
-.B -dontroute
-Disables Appletalk routing. It is the opposite of \fB-router\fR.
-
-.TP
-.B -net first[-last]
-Allows the available net to be set, optionally as a range.
-
-.TP
-.B -phase ( 1 | 2 )
-Specifies the Appletalk phase that this interface is to use (either Phase
-1 or Phase 2).
-
-.TP
-.B -router
-Like \fB-seed\fR, but allows single interface routing. It is the opposite
-of \fB-dontroute\fR.
-
-.TP
-.B -seed
-The seed option only works if you have multiple interfaces. It also causes
-all missing arguments to be automagically configured from the network.
-
-.TP
-.B -zone zonename
+.TP
+\fB\-addr \fInet.node\fB\fR
+Allows specification of the net and node numbers for this
+interface, specified in Appletalk numbering format (example:
+\fB\-addr 66.6\fR).
+.TP
+\fB\-dontroute\fR
+Disables Appletalk routing. It is the opposite of
+\fB\-router\fR.
+.TP
+\fB\-net first[\-last]\fR
+Allows the available net to be set, optionally as a
+range.
+.TP
+\fB\-noallmulti\fR (linux only)
+On linux the interfaces, atalkd uses, are set to
+ALLMULTI by default caused by countless NICs having problems
+without being forced into this mode (some even don't work with
+allmulti set). In case, you've a NIC known to support multicasts
+properly, you might want to set this option causing less packets to
+be processed
+.TP
+\fB\-phase ( 1 | 2 )\fR
+Specifies the Appletalk phase that this interface is to use
+(either Phase 1 or Phase 2).
+.TP
+\fB\-router\fR
+Like \fB\-seed\fR, but allows single interface
+routing. It is the opposite of \fB\-dontroute\fR.
+.TP
+\fB\-seed\fR
+The seed option only works if you have multiple interfaces. It
+also causes all missing arguments to be automagically configured
+from the network.
+.TP
+\fB\-zone \fIzonename\fB\fR
Specifies a specific zone that this interface should appear on (example:
-\fI-zone "Parking Lot"\fR). Please note that zones with spaces and other
-special characters should be enclosed in parentheses.
+\fB\-zone "Parking Lot"\fR). Please note that zones with
+spaces and other special characters should be enclosed in
