i'm not sure -- i think it's what shows up on your connecting mac as "server name" once you get past the 'ip address' dialog. > output: > > /etc/init.d/netatalk start > Starting AppleTalk Daemons (this will take a while):bind: Cannot assign > requested address > bind: Cannot assign requested address > afpd papd. according to ethan's recommendation, you don't need to run netatalk as a daemon -- it runs nicely as a tcp-induced hallucination... which is apparently what # cat >> /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf macFileServer -tcp -noddp -nosetpassword -nouservol -noguest ^D facilitates. (correct me if i'm wrong, folks.) > # update-rc.d -f netatalk remove > What is Will doing here? following instructions. :) "man update-rc.d" shows that it's the Debian tool to use when changing /etc/rc*.d/* links to your /etc/init.d/* scripts. now i still have the /etc/init.d/netatalk script if i want to use it (/etc/init.d/netatalk start, for example) but there's not a single link to it in any of the /etc/rc?.d/* directories, meaning it won't be initiated (as a daemon) during boot or runlevel switching. -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #1 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Looking to use your Debian machine as a FIREWALL? No problem! Try "apt-get install ipmasq"... After you've got your /etc/network/interfaces file set up properly, ipmasq will save you lots of work, setting up firewall and routing tables automatically.
