Well.. in the continuing saga of Mac VS *nix, I was cruising along fine with the
latest version of netatalk (netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.4) on a RH6.2 box and have come
across a new issue. It seems there is a max connections of 20 someplace (I would
guess in the code). In /usr/local/atalk/etc/netatalk.conf, it doesn't seem to matter
what you have AFPD_MAX_CLIENTS= set to (I have mine at 150), and it still only allows
20 connections.
The only thing I can find that seems to point to the max connections is in the source
tree (in my case /usr/local/src/netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.4) /libatalk/dsi/ there is a
file dsi_tcp.c. In this file is this line:
#define DSI_TCPMAXPEND 20 /* max # of pending connections */
Not being too knowledgable in programming, I didn't want to start making changes in
the code. Is this where the problem lies?? Has anyone else run into similar issues
with max connections in the latest release?? Is there any workaround at this time??
This is, without a doubt, a major show-stopper since my network has a fairly large
number of macs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
