netatalk does what you want - it's an appletalk file & print server for unix. also allows unix machines to use other files & printers on other appletalk servers. netatalk is available as a debian package. I used to use it on my network here at home (I had a Mac IIcx with an ethernet card here for about a year). BTW, unless there is now a linux driver for localtalk cards then this is only useful if your macs have ethernet cards. I have heard of a few drivers being developed for linux, but don't know of any that have been released. craig -- craig sanders networking consultant Available for casual or contract temporary autonomous zone system administration tasks. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
