I installed both Netatalk packages, and they/it doesn't work.  I read
somewhere, later, that they won't work if you install both.  Ok.  I tried
to pkg_delete both and the (FreeBSD 3.3-Release) machine refused.  Hmmm...
Now what?

Isn't netatalk support part of the generic kernel?  I get a "nmbd" listed
when I do ps -aux. Is this netatalk?  Compiling a custom kernel is not a
breeze.  I didn't install the source code in order to save disk space.  The
freeBSD box isn't connected to the internet, so CVSup is difficult.  The
machine is just a file server for the LAN.

I spent a day on it, and it doesn't run.  I can successfully "ping" the
Macintosh from the FreeBSD box, but the Mac cannot see/ping the FreeBSD box.

What files do I edit to setup 'shares'?

I also installed the CAPS package, but still no luck.  Not sure how to
configure it, either.  

Any help would be appreciated.
