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 MacOS X. 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 /etc/atalk/afpd.conf<code>- -noddp -tcp -uamlist uams_randnum.so,uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx2.so -nosavepassword -advertise_ssh</code> *edit /etc/atalk/netatalk.conf <code>ATALKD_RUN=no<br>PAPD_RUN=no<br>CNID_METAD_RUN=yes<br>AFPD_RUN=yes<br>TIMELORD_RUN=no<br>A2BOOT_RUN=no</code> * Once the app is installed you can add the folders you wish to share over AFP by editing the /etc/atalkdatalk/netatalkAppleVolumes.conf default file and adding them at :<code>~/ "$u" allow:UserName rwlist:UserName,@users cnidscheme:cdb</code>Change UserName to your username, this will share your homefolder over afp* chkconfig atalk on* service atalk start For recent versions of Amahi/Netatalk (Tested with Amahi 6/Netatalk 2.1.3-1/Fedora 14), the bottomservice name is changed to 'netatalk. Full instructions ' So the above becomes; * chkconfig netatalk on* service netatalk start == 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 edit that /etc/avahi/services/* add the afpd.service file are in :<code><?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*--><br><!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"><br><service-group><br><name replace-wildcards="yes">%h Xserve</name><br><service><br><type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type><br><port>548</port><br></service><br><service><br><type>_device-info._tcp</type><br><port>0</port><br><txt-record>model=Xserve</txt-record><br></service><br></service-group></code> %h Xserve can be changed to your server name (not the actual filesame 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 <code><?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*--><br><!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"><br><service-group><br><name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name><br><service><br><type>_rfb._tcp</type><br><port>5900</port><br></service><br></service-group></code> # samba.service so the bsod icon is replaced with a nice screen icon and is on the same server as vnc/etcscreensharing <code><?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*--><br><!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"><br><service-group><br><name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</initname><br><service><br><type>_smb.d_tcp</type><br><port>139</port><br></service><br></service-group></atalkd startcode> there is also a nfs.

Integrate AFP and avahi with the Shares tab of the WebUI just as tightly as Samba is.
