Still no luck. Netatalk is NOT working.
I installed webmin module 0.9 beta to try and solve the config issues.
I repointed the files to "/etc/atalk" instead of "/usr/local/atalkd/etc"
The hand written share was somehow deleted and every effort to create
a new share in webmin fails. Edit interface says "Error - file not found".

"Start Apple File Sharing" says /usr/sbin/atalkd failed

What is going wrong?
