I had been running the CAP package on my machine (more or less in line with the port) until recently (i.e. under 2.1.0) using bpf devices. This broke under 2.2.1 so I decided to give Kernel Appletalk support a go (under CAP). This seems to also be broken (although less so after a lot of stuffing around). I have noticed a few references to a suite of programs (atalkd etc) that are meant to go with the netatalk package and have obtained a copy (from umich, the original authors) of the distributon. The original code seems to have no knowledge of FreeBSD. Correcting this slight oversight, I now have a fair amount of the code compiled but then things started to get a bit ugly. It seems to me that the organisation that did the port to FreeBSD have probably been through all this before me. Is there somewhere I should be looking for the fruits of this labour? Should I be talking to someone at 'Whistle Communications Corp'? If so, any clues on how I find her/him/them/it? In the mean time I'll just keep on hacking away here but I'd love to know if someone has already done this before me. Thanks Brian
