The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) is a network protocol that offers file services for Mac OS X and original Mac OS. Avahi is an open source implementation of Bonjour or former Rendezvous wich advertises servers to MacosX

NOTE: THIS IS NOT MEANT FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING

Installation of netatalk into Amahi

  • Open a terminal either on the desktop or SSH
  • Become root (sudo -s or su -)
  • yum -y install netatalk
  • edit afpd.conf - -noddp -tcp -uamlist uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx2.so -nosavepassword -advertise_ssh
  • edit netatalk.conf

ATALKD_RUN=no PAPD_RUN=no CNID_METAD_RUN=yes AFPD_RUN=yes TIMELORD_RUN=no A2BOOT_RUN=no

  • Once the app is installed you can add the folders you wish to share over AFP by editing the Applevolume.default

~/ "$u" allow:UserName rwlist:UserName,@users cnidscheme:cdb

Change UserName to your username, this will share your homefolder over afp

Installation of avahi into Amahi

  • Open a terminal either on the desktop or SSH
  • Become root (sudo -s or su -)
  • yum -y install avahi
  • go to /etc/avahi/services/
  • add the afpd.service

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?> <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h Xserve</name> <service> <type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type> <port>548</port> </service> <service> <type>_device-info._tcp</type> <port>0</port> <txt-record>model=Xserve</txt-record> </service> </service-group>

%h Xserve can be changed to your server name (not the same as your samba server!) model=Xserve can be changed to get a different icon for your server to PowerBook, PowerMac, Macmini, iMac, MacBook, MacBookPro, MacBookAir, MacPro, AppleTV1,1, AirPort

  • Additionally you can make avahi advertise other services on your mac

rfb.service for screensharing without chickenvnc

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?> <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name> <service> <type>_rfb._tcp</type> <port>5900</port> </service> </service-group>

samba.service so the bsod icon is replaced with a nice screen icon and is on the same server as vnc/screensharing

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?> <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name> <service> <type>_smb._tcp</type> <port>139</port> </service> </service-group>

there is also a nfs.service but havent been able to get this to work on snow leopard

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?> <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">NFS Shares on %h</name> ## Display Name <service> 

      <type>_nfs._tcp</type>
      <port>2049</port>
      <txt-record>path=/var/hda/files/music</txt-record> ## path to NFS mountpoint

</service> <service> 

       <type>_nfs._tcp</type>
       <port>2049</port>
       <txt-record>path=/var/hda/files/movies</txt-record> ## path to NFS mountpoint

</service> </service-group>

Thanks to this great tutorial for ubuntu !!


  • Starting and stopping AFP and Avahi :

service atalk (start stop restart) service avahi-daemon (start stop restart)
