-This is a README for the major platforms where Netatalk is in use.
-
-Platforms Covered:
-A. Linux
-B. Tru64
-C. Solaris
-D.I OpenBSD
-D.II Other BSDs
-E. SunOS
-F. Generic
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-A. Linux
-
-We no longer include linux kernel code with netatalk, since Linux now
-includes AppleTalk support.
-
-1. MAKE CONFIG. Configure your kernel with "make config". Answer yes
- to "AppleTalk DDP" support.
-
-2. INSTALL KERNEL. Make and install your kernel. Be sure to update
- your boot blocks!
-
-3. Linux 2.2.x provides the sendfile() call. This reduces overhead
- when sending/copying files. This option will be autoconfigured on
- compile. NOTE: you might run into problems if you have this option
- compiled in and you switch to a machine running an os < 2.2.x.
-
-
-Netatalk supplies two different types of Appletalk servers and both
-can run at the same time. Classic Appletalk requires afpd and
-atalkd. Appletalk over IP only requires afpd.
-
-Classic Appletalk on GNU/Linux requires that CONFIG_ATALK is compiled
-into the kernel or as a kernel module. To check to see if the kernel
-has Appletalk installed:
-
-$> dmesg | grep Apple
-This just parses the boot messages for any line containing
-'Apple'.
-
-To see all the loaded modules (as root):
-$> lsmod
-
-If you don't find it, you may have to compile a kernel and turn on
-Appletalk in Networking options -> Appletalk DDP. You have an option
-to install as a module or directly into the kernel.
-
-Some default distribution kernels have already compiled Appletalk DDP
-as a module, you may have to edit your /etc/modules.conf to include:
-"alias net-pf-5 appletalk ".
-
-Note: check your distribution documentation about editing
-/etc/modules.conf.
-
-For more complete information about the Linux kernel see the
-Kernel-HOWTO:
-http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html
-
-A note for RedHat users: You may need to install the glibc-devel
-package to be able to compile Netatalk correctly.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-B. TRU64
-
-This is the Tru64 README file for netatalk.
-
-1. Unfortunately, AppleTalk is not available for Digital Unix or Tru64.
- The reason for this is the kernel patches which Netatalk requires
- cannot be ported to Tru64. If anyone has the kernel source of Tru64
- they are welcomed to port the AppleTalk modules themselves.
-
- As a result, only AppleShare over IP (ASIP) works with Tru64. That
- is, the program afpd. papd and atalkd compile, but doesn't really
- work. Anything that requires AppleTalk doesn't work.
-
-2. Netatalk compiles on Tru64 V4.0D or higher using either the built-in
- DEC C compiler or GCC V2.95.3. Also, either the Tru64 make command or
- GNU make can be used. Netatalk supports Tru64's Security Integration
- Architecture (SIA) and runs on machines configured for Base (BSD) or
- Enhanced (OSFC2) Security without recompilation.
-
-3. A peculiar bug in Netatalk has been noticed on a single Tru64
- machine. However, because other Tru64 machines have not affected, a
- patch will not be forthcoming until the circumstances where the bug
- hits is isolated and a more elegant and appropriate patch can be
- found. In the meantime, there is a description of the bug below. Any
- users affected can attempt the workarounds provided. The user is
- urged to report this to the mailing list so that this bug can be
- isolated and removed.
-
- HAVE_GCC_MEMCPY_BUG
- Description -
- It appears that memcpy() under Tru64 can fail under some
- circumstances. This maybe due to the fact that Netatalk is compiled
- with gcc, but since only gcc can compile Netatalk, this is a mute
- point.
-
- Symptoms -
- The symptoms of this bug is that a 18432 byte file uploaded to
- the server would upload correctly, but a 18433 byte file would
- result in a sparse file many megabytes big (16MB+). However, due to
- the low-level nature of memcpy(), there is no reason why other
- symptoms could not occur.
-
- Workarounds -
- There are two known workarounds at this stage.
- - The first is to #define the macro HAVE_GCC_MEMCPY_BUG. This forces
- netatalk to use bcopy() in a few (but not all) cases within the code
- and is enough to stop the bug from occurring. This is the easiest
- workaround and would merely alter the standard compilation steps to
-
- CFLAGS="-DHAVE_GCC_MEMCPY_BUG" ./configure [...]
- make
- make install
-
- - The second workaround is to manually remove the optimisation flag
- "-O2" from within configure and/or configure.in. Although, this
- isn't the preferred workaround, it shows that the compiler is
- (at least) partially at fault.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-C. SOLARIS
-
-1. SELECT COMPILER. This distribution is configured to build with
- gcc. It should also work with cc. At the present time only cc
- v5.0 and gcc 3.1 and above can build the 64-bit kernel module.
-
-1a. SELECT KERNEL TYPE. Edit sys/solaris/Makefile.kernel and set KCFLAGS
- to include sparcv9 support if you run a 64-bit kernel, or leave it
- commented out for a 32-bit kernel. Only UltraSPARC systems
- running Solaris 7 and above support a 64-bit kernel. If you're
- not sure what kernel you use, run "isainfo -v". You're running a
- 64-bit kernel if the result includes 64-bit (sparcv9), otherwize
- it's 32-bit.
-
- NOTE: If you want both the 32-bit and 64-bit kernel modules to be
- installed, first compile and install the version appropriate to
- the kernel that you're currently running, then make clean,
- compile and install the other version.
-
-2. EDIT NETCONFIG. Add the following line to /etc/netconfig:
-
- ddp tpi_clts - appletalk ddp /dev/ddp -
-
- This makes the socket library aware of the AppleTalk protocol
- family.
-
-3. INSTALL DRIVER. Since the STREAMS ddp driver must be installed as
- root, we've separated that portion of the build. Type
-
- make -f Makefile.kernel kinstall
-
- to install the driver. This copies the driver and its config file
- into /usr/kernel/drv and /usr/kernel/strmod, runs "add_drv ddp" to
- make the kernel aware of the new driver, and adds an rc file to
- /etc/rc?.d. Watch out for error messages after it runs add_drv.
- If you see something like
- devfsadm: driver failed to attach: ddp
- Warning: Driver (ddp) successfully added to system but failed to attach
- then recheck sys/solaris/Makefile.kernel and/or try a different
- compiler.
-
-4. ATALKD.CONF. Under Solaris, you must create atalkd.conf, since
- Solaris provides no method for determining the names of the
- available interfaces. It is sufficent to name the available
- interfaces in atalkd.conf, one per line. E.g.
-
- le0
-
- on a line by itself on many Suns. hme0 on Ultras. See atalkd(8).
-
-5. PRINTING. Netatalk can use any postscript printer that has been set
- up for use by Solaris. If you haven't already set up a printer,
- type admintool then select Browse --> Printers, and then Edit --> Add
- and fill in the form for either a local or remote printer. If adding
- a local printer, set the Printer Type to PostScript. Then find a
- postscript file and test your printer from the command line. For
- example if you created a printer called "fred" your print command
- would be something like: lp -d fred some_file.ps
-
- Once you have a printer that works under Solaris, you need to create
- a papd.conf file. For example
-
- MacLaserjet:\
- :pr=|/usr/bin/lp -d fred:\
- :op=nobody:\
- :pd=/usr/local/etc/HPLJ_4M.PPD:
-
- See doc/CONFIGURE for more information on papd.conf.
- Once you have this set up, and assuming netatalk starts up after
- /etc/rc2.d/S79atalk start
- you should be able to see the printer from the Macintosh Chooser.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-D.I OpenBSD
-
-1. KERNEL SUPPORT. Note that kernel support for netatalk appears in
- OpenBSD 2.2, or openbsd-current dated after Aug 1, 1997. But the
- 'comment out' character must be removed and the kernel must be
- recompiled.
-
- The kernel file that needs to be edited is usually located in:
- /usr/src/sys/conf
-
- Remove the first comment (#) from this line:
- # option NETATALK # AppleTalk
-
- Generally this is the GENERIC kernal. If you decide to rename
- the kernel, don't forget to go to
- /usr/src/sys/arch/<your arch>/conf/NEWNAME, and change the
- ../../../conf/GENERIC line to your NEWNAME. See
- http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html for more information on
- compiling a new kernel.
-
-2. STARTING NETATALK. The rc scripts that come with openbsd to
- start netatalk are specific to an older version of netatalk.
- So, if you use the initscript provided in a current netatalk's
- distrib/initscripts directory, you must either add the lines
- from rc.atalk.bsd by hand into /etc/rc.local (or wherever you
- want to launch the daemons from) or modify your /etc/rc.local
- file to read:
-
- (currently says)
-
- # Netatalk stuff
- if [ -f /etc/netatalk/rc.atalk ]; then
- . /etc/netatlk/rc.atalk
- fi
-
- (change to)
-
- # Netatalk stuff
- if [ -f /etc/rc.atalk ]; then
- . /etc/rc.atalk
- fi
-
- and copy netatalk/distrib/initscripts/rc.atalk.bsd to /etc/rc.atalk.
-
-D.II Other BSDs
-
-1. KERNEL SUPPORT. Note that kernel support for netatalk appears in
- FreeBSD 2.2-current dated after 12 September 1996.
-
- Add the line
-
- options NETATALK
-
- to the config file for your kernel. Rebuild and install your
- kernel. Reboot.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-E. SunOS
-
-1. KERNEL MODULE. This version of netatalk requires that your kernel
- be configured with
-
- options VDDRV
-
- The loadable kernel module is made and installed during the normal
- make and make install. NOTE: Unloading the kernel module may not
- work correctly and may cause your kernel to panic, hang, or do
- other nasty things.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-F. Generic
-
-(It's unknown how applicable this is compared to the current codebase)
-
- The generic system profile is for use on systems that don't have native
- appletalk support. For those systems, it should still be possible to get
- the AFP/tcp portion of netatalk to still work.
-
- To do that, you will need the following information:
-
- 1) Endian order: If your machine does not specify the
- byte-order in netinet/in.h, you may need to modify
- netatalk/endian.h.
-
- 2) Integer sizes: If your machine does not define intX_t and
- u_intX_t, you will need to define them in
- netatalk/endian.h. To ease matters, you can specify
- _ISOC9X_SOURCE if you have inttypes.h, HAVE_64BIT_LONGS for
- 64 bit machines, or HAVE_32BIT_LONGS for 32 bit
- machines. NOTE: you should only use HAVE_32/64BIT_LONGS on
- machines that don't have a header file somewhere with the
- integer sizes. If you have a file with all the relevant
- bits, modify netatalk/endian.h to include it.
-
- 3) Quota/statfs information: You may be able to get away with
- either BSD4_4 or __svr4__, but that's unlikely if your os
- is some bizarre hybrid. If you don't have quota support,
- just specify NO_QUOTA_SUPPORT. In addition, if you'll need
- to specify the include file that gets statfs() (usually
- either USE_VFS_H or USE_STATFS_H although BSD4_4 and
- __svr4__ bring in a set of include files for that). Look at
- etc/afpd/quota.c, unix.c, and unix.h for more information.
- Finally, if you have a really old version of rquota, you
- can define USE_OLD_RQUOTA as well.
-
- 4) path information for lock/spool/printer files. you'll need
- to specify -D_PATH_LOCKDIR if include/atalk/paths.h doesn't
- have the correct paths specified for printer info and lock
- files.
-
- Beyond that, you should make sure that your operating system looks and
- smells like a Un*x POSIXy operating system. The only operating systems
- that netatalk supports that don't quite fit that description are
- sunos 4 and ultrix. If your operating system is peculiar, you may need
- to add in compatibility routines (libatalk/compat,
- include/atalk/compat.h) to make it look more like the others.
-
- If you would like native AppleTalk support, you will need kernel support
- for your operating system. Look at the Solaris STREAMS module if your
- operating system supports that framework. Otherwise, look at the ddp
- code in FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD if your operating system is BSDish
- in nature. If your operating system looks different than these two
- cases, you'll have to roll your own implementation.
