   Hmmm, are you sure?

Not very; I'm certainly no expert. That's part of why I didn't attempt
to expand beyond the nutshell.

   . . . Therefore you always need to start both atalkd _and_ afpd if
   you want to AppleShare via DDP.

That could be; I've hardly used DDP in this configuration, because of
the aforementioned printer issue. And I haven't tried my TCP-only
configuration without atalkd, either.

   So, I hope somebody solidly in the know will speak up and set me
right, so I don't go confusing any more newbies. ;-}

   BTW: There is no "Re:" in your reply subject.
   Makes it hard to follow a thread!

"Re:" is just noise; it doesn't convey anything that message sequence
doesn't tell me. But I wasn't trying to be obscure; in fact, I'm
surprised that you seem to rely on it so heavily . . .
