You have to run netatalk and howl, both are in the ports.  Then your

You only need to run netatalk if you want to offer afp shares from FreeBSD. If you just want nfs then the howl thing should get it to show in the finder.

Thanks for the reply, Per.
I understand what you're saying, but will a FreeBSD machine show up in
Finder under any circumstances?


Hi

Unfortunately is OS X not so good when it comes to NFS.
To make your FreeBSD box talk either AFP or SMB solves your

problem. If

you have something against that you could try NFS Manager.

Hello List,

I have a PowerMac G5, named "larry", which the 'Sharing' tab

in System

Preferences tells me that other machines on the network can access as
'larry.local'.

I have a FreeBSD 4.11 machine on the same subnet, named

"moe" (no domain

name), with NFS enabled.

I can connect to the FreeBSD machine's share by using

"Connect to Server" in

OS X, but the machine doesn't show up in the Network pane of Finder.

Can anyone point me to some resources where I can find a

resolution to this?
