Please bottom-post. You misunderstood. I said that I remember that the config files on Debian are "/etc/default/netatalk" and /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf". Perhaps I should've also said that I remember "/etc/netatalk/netatalk.conf" to be the Fedora equivalent of "/etc/default/netatalk". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
