Although I haven't helped anyone on this list yet - maybe one day I can.

I have been playing around with Mac OS X and it seems there is a
problem. Netatalk volumes are not accessible. While watching
/var/log/messages, it seems the authentication goes through. You then
get your list of accessible shares, but when you attempt to mount them -
the server disconnects the client(Mac OS X box). In the log you see:

Mar 15 19:57:50 macsupport afpd[8556]: ASIP session:548(2) from
153.39.168.41:49288(0)
Mar 15 19:57:50 macsupport afpd[818]: server_child[1] 8556 done

process

user dshaub

Mar 15 19:58:05 macsupport afpd[8557]: Connection terminated
Mar 15 19:58:05 macsupport afpd[818]: server_child[1] 8557 exited 1

On the machine attempting to connect you get:

Disconnected
The file server "macsupport" connection has unexpectedly closed down.

My Netatalk boxes are all Redhat 7 running on various Dell hardware
I've tried 1.5 as well as the old 1.4+asun version that was always
recommended. I know it may be silly to expect the non final version of
OS X to work perfectly - but I am a little suspicious that Apple has
made some changes that will need to be adjusted to. Mounting OS 9 or
AppleShare IP servers work fine. If anyone has ideas - I would love to
hear!

Thanks,
David Shaub
