Netatalk on Debian 6.0 with Snow Leopard Client

thekore · 04-06-2011, 05:15 AM

I’m hoping to receive some help setting up file shares on a Debian server using netatalk, so that i can see the share via Finder in Snow Leopard.

From what searching i have done all information seems to be outdated and would like some clarification regarding setting this up with Debian 6.0 and Snow Leopard.

When trying to install netatalk Debian would like to install the following packages:

Code:

root@zeus:/home/sferguson# apt-get install netatalk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  cracklib-runtime db4.8-util dbus libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libcrack2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libpam-cracklib libreadline5 lsof rc
Suggested packages:
  dbus-x11 cups-common texlive-base-bin groff quota db4.2-util db4.7-util
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  cracklib-runtime db4.8-util dbus libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libcrack2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libpam-cracklib libreadline5 lsof netatalk rc
0 upgraded, 14 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 3,195 kB of archives.
After this operation, 9,023 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n

Is this all im going to need? Also what configuration will be needed to ensure that this system will work with Snow Leopard.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I did this with my Fedora 14.
Yes you need that packages: netatalk + avahi.
Avahi is needed to announce your server to your mac(s).

The configuration is quite easy and a very good guide can be found here:

Hoping this helps....Good job!
