First step with netatalk is "is it running?" It starts with a daemon

eg on my box this is

Code:

/usr/pkg/libexec/netatalk/atalkd

which is normally self configuring.

The first program to see what else is on the appletalk network is

Code:

/usr/pkg/bin/nbplkup

This will probe the network to see what names have been registered.

eg, mine, with nothing else running on the net says

Code:

$ nbplkup
                       gateway:ADSP                               65280.94:128
                      10.1.3.1:IPADDRESS                          65280.94:72
                      10.1.3.1:IPGATEWAY                          65280.94:72
                       gateway:netatalk                           65280.94:4
                       gateway:Workstation                        65280.94:4

The ADSP is my ADSP terminal server so you can log onto the gateway using the "ADSP Tool". IPADDRESS and IPGATEWAY are my macipd ready for duty. The last two are registered by netatalk itself, here on the echo socket.

You need to go through a configuration phase with any file sharing to say what you want shared.
