Re: AppleTalk support & netatalk

[Aviram Carmi <avi-redhat otn com>]

Thanks,

most of my machines are MacOS 9.2.2, and under Red Hat 7.x I could 
just mount the volume using Network Browser.

I cannot do it on my RHEL v3 machine, it took me a while to figure 
out that netatalk was the missing piece, but I just ended up just 
using ftp to copy files, instead of attempting to install netatalk. 
(not confident enough in my sys admin skills, or lack thereof, and 
did not want to mess with RHEL v3)

So, whenever I need to do a global search and replace using my Mac's 
BBEdit program,  I end up ftp'ing the entire directory back and 
forth...

I'll look into netatalk.sf.net for my RHEL v3, (soon to be RHEL v4)

thank,
