I second Martin Welk's message and suggest you take a look at Netatalk. After compiling in NETATALK support in the kernel (a breeze) and installing the netatalk port, I just read the documentation that came with the port and got it running in a couple of minutes. It's really that easy... Now all the Macs in our company can see the Macintosh 'shares' I've setup on FreeBSD. I've put Macintosh documents and applications on the FreeBSD machine and I've had no problems lauching and using them. -Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Telford" <j.telford@sympatico.ca> To: <FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, April 03, 2000 23:31 Subject: Macintosh access to FreeBSD over TCP/IP ?? > Be gentle, I'm very new to the FBSD environment. > Is there a way that TCP/IP based Mac users can access a FBSD box on > their local Lan from their Apple Chooser ? > I'd like it to appear as just another file server to them, but I don't > want to have to put any appletalk ports/protocol on the FreeBSD box.
