Hi there, Several people have either sent suggestions or expressed interest in the AppleTalk to FreeBSD topic. I have things running now: - the general consensus of the people that sent me suggestions was: 'don't bother with CAP, go directly for netatalk' This does imply that an upgrade to FreeBSD 2.2.x was required though. So I decided to bite the bullit and upgrade the machine from 2.1.5R to 2.2.1R. Having done that part, I just grabbed netatalk-1.4b2 (see the pointer http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/appletalk/atalk.html for more info). This compiles right out of the box, no tweaking required. After approx 20 minutes I had both file and printersharing working. Although I think CAP would also have worked on 2.1.5R (I nearly had printersharing working, probably filesharing would also have worked) I do recommend getting netatalk even when it means upgrading your FreeBSD version first.
