I've just installed netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3-7.i386.rpm on RedHat 6.2 and it
seems to be working fine apart from some problems with printing.
BUT .... I had to load the appletalk module first. To test this I did the
following:
locate appletalk.o # To verify it exists
modprobe -k -v appletalk # To load the module
lsmod # To verify the module was
loaded
/usr/bin/atalkd -f /etc/atalk/atalkd.conf # To load it manually and see
what
# heppened. Shouldn't need the
'-f'
# option but I'm paranoid.
(Note : I did /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk stop first to make sure nothing else was
going to confuse the issue)
Once I verified that this fixed atalk. I place this line in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk after the line "Starting Appletalk Services":
modprobe -k -v appletalk
You will notice that /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk removes the appletalk module when
you execute it with the stop option but that it wasn't automatically loading it.
I guess it's aupposed to load automatically and Andrew Morgan's instruction may
have been designed to achieve that end.
When it comes to modules I always feel like a blind man driving a car. But the
above method worked for me and I'm running a similar config to yourself.
hope this helps,
