[opensuse] Appletalk and more than one Linux box
Hallo, We have 2 Macs and a number of OpenSUSE boxes on our network. I have started to set up TimeMachine on the Macs to use the OpenSUSE backup server as destination using AFP (netatalk). That works fine so far. But, I would also like to access certain folders on the other Linux desktops from the Macs. The same username is used on the Linux boxes. As soon as I set up natatalk on another Linux box and I want to connect to it from the Mac, it seems to get confused. The mac shows both Linux machines, but it will show the shares of the first box it connects to for both of them. Example: Obelix (openSUSE 11.3 backup system) AFP shares: - obelix_andre_timemachine - obelix_willa_timemachine Vitalstatistix (openSUSE 11.3 dev workstation) AFP shares: - vitalstatistix_andre - vitalstatistix work So, if I first connect to Obelix and then to Vitalstatistix, both of them show obelix_andre_timemachine and obelix_willa_timemachine and vice versa if I connect to Vitalstatistix first. Any idea how I need to set up netatalk so that the Mac will be able to access the shares on both systems? Or is there something I need to set up on Apple? I will post to the Apple forums too Thanks -- Andre Truter | Software Consultant | Registered Linux user #185282 Tel: 082 785 7615 | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0 ~ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

How did you setup mDNS? I had an issue with this where I could see the server in Finder but then I couldn't access it unless I pressed Sweedish Campground + K and then entered the IP address. Turns out the mDNS config from the first "guide" was wrong. Here's what works for me: /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service: <?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*--> <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</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> I'm of the philosophy that simple, not-out-of-the-ordinary things on computers should "just work," so I have no idea why this doesn't come built into mDNS service or even why this wasn't included as a file in the netatalk package. Maybe someone should file a bugreport -- I'm to jaded from most of mine being ignored or outright discarded. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

My afpd.service file looks exactly like yours.

I got some help on the Apple forums and the solution is to set up a user level signature for each server in /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf I added "-signature user:OBLX" to the seting on the one machine and "-signature user:VTLX" Now I can access both servers at the same time from the Mac -- Andre Truter | Software Consultant | Registered Linux user #185282 Tel: 082 785 7615 | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former - Albert Einstein ~ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
