At present my netatalk configuration files (atalkd.conf and papd.conf) contain nothing but commented-out lines. When I execute the commands atalkd and nbplkup on my Linux box, this is what I get:

dave@quad:/$ atalkd

eth0: multicast may not work correctly.

eth0: disabled.

atalkd: zero interfaces, exiting.

dave@quad:/$ nbplkup

quad:AFPServer 65280.8:128

quad:netatalk 65280.8:4

quad:Workstation 65280.8:4
