Did you follow a specific guide or article for this?

Nope, just did an install in VMWare with the ISO of Ubuntu 8.04. I specifically held off on any downloaded updates so that I could test a baseline config. Only changes made were to the config files -- type

Code:

afpd -V

to see where they reside on your particular system. (I believe

Code:

-transall

is the default, so it worked out of the box -- automatically serving up each user's home directory.

One thing I did do was to connect my host iMac to wired Ethernet, and set VMWare to Bridged Mode, to eliminate any chance that AppleTalk could be filtered out. (Obviously legacy Macs are going to be on wired Ethernet in most cases.)
