Code:
On my raspbian system, appletalk isn't configured. It's not compiled in, and not available as a module. netatalk uses the kernel's appletalk implementation, which in an "embedded" system like rpi could be seen as extraneous and left out. That'd probably require a kernel rebuild, or at the very least a module.
For the home directory issue, if you're using '~/ "Home Directory"' in your AppleVolumes.default file, then there might be an issue with guest access. However, if you create a share with the path to the home directory, and the -guestname the same as the owner of the home directory, there shouldn't be an issue. Something like:

AppleVolumes.default:

Code:

/home/floe "floe's Home Directory"

afpd.conf:

Code:

- -transall -uamlist uams_guest.so -guestname floe

Noted. I'll consider whether I should add it to the Guide or not (do you think I ought to?). Of course sharing ~/ out to *Anybody* is rather risky.

For the A2SERVER, they meant to use it with an AFP bridge like one of those Asanté series boxen. Believe it or not I actually got faster throughtput through one of those than LocalTalk direct.
