The ports part: On big-endian systems, atalkd will not cleanly restart. If it has previously run on an interface, it says something like this: sunrise# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/netatalk restart bge0: Address already in use Can't configure multicast. bge0: disabled. bge0: disabled. atalkd: zero interfaces, exiting. This is with no remaining atalk address on the interface. The kernel part: The kernel seems incapable of correctly sending or receiving AARP packets. Aecho doesn't work, nbplkup doesn't work, and tcpdump gives a lot of these packets coming from the problem machine: 22:54:19.872587 aarp who-has 0.0.0 tell 0.0 Turning on NETATALKDEBUG, I get this at the console when these packets are sent (sending induced by aecho 65280.125, which is a mac. 65280.175 is the machine itself): aarp: sending request for 65280.175 The machine also doesn't reply to AARP packets addressed to it. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:home | help
