Description of problem:
I recently upgraded to netatalk-1.5.2-3 and have had problems with atalkd and
with which uams are used.  I made sure to start with the conf files that came
with that package and I also tried the rawhide package with the same results.

When I start atalk I get the following log messages:

Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo atalkd: socket: Address family not supported by protocol
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo atalkd: socket: Address family not supported by protocol
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo atalkd: atalkd: can't get interfaces, exiting.
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo atalk: atalkd startup failed
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo papd[23228]: restart (1.5.2)
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo atalk: papd startup succeeded
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo afpd[23233]: main: atp_open: Address family not supported
by protocol
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo afpd[23233]: ASIP started on 169.237.149.60:548(0) (1.5.2)
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo afpd[23233]: uam: uams_clrtxt.so loaded
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo afpd[23233]: uam: uams_dhx.so loaded
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo afpd[23233]: uam: "DHCAST128" available
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo afpd[23233]: uam: "Cleartxt Passwrd" available
Jul 12 15:40:11 erizo atalk: afpd startup succeeded

The first few show that atalkd is failing for some reason I dont understand.

The last few show that afpd is starting, but with undesired UAMS.  I have the
following line in afpd.conf which should only allow dhx_pam authentification:

- -transall -uamlist uams_dhx_pam.so -nosavepassword

yet clear text passwords still seem to be around (I tried a mac client - it
tried to connect with clear text passwords).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start atalk
2.ps aux
3.look for daemons running
4.tail -n 20 /var/log/messages
	

Actual Results:  atalkd fails to start and clear text passwords are allowed

Expected Results:  atalkd start and only dhx authentification

Comment 1 Phil Knirsch 2002-07-17 14:11:31 UTC 
If tried it here with the same version of the package and it works fine:

Jul 17 16:00:18 hamburg afpd[1986]: hamburg:AFPServer@* started on 65280.37:128
(1.5.3.1)
Jul 17 16:00:18 hamburg afpd[1986]: ASIP started on 172.16.2.151:548(2) (1.5.3.1)
Jul 17 16:00:18 hamburg afpd[1986]: uam: uams_dhx.so loaded
Jul 17 16:00:18 hamburg afpd[1986]: uam: "DHCAST128" available

Have you edited the file

  /etc/atalk/afpd.conf

or another one? As this is the correct file to edit and is being used by afpd.

Which kernel are you using? As the error messages should only appear if the
kernel doesn't support the appletalk protocol.

Read ya, Phil
Comment 2 David Kaplan 2002-07-17 19:28:17 UTC 
I downloaded the source for netatalk-1.5.3.1-4 and I compiled it myself.  That
fixed the problem with the UAMS, but I still cant get atalkd going.  

I am using kernel-2.4.18-5 (the standard one from Redhat).  Perhaps someone
forgot to compile in atalk support.  How would I find that out?

Thanks, David
Comment 3 David Kaplan 2002-07-17 21:37:04 UTC 
I forgot to mention that I am using the SMP kernel.

patch to /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk
Comment 5 David Kaplan 2002-07-17 23:19:19 UTC 
It seems that /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk was not loading the appletalk module.  I
was under the impression that this shouldn't be necessary (it should
automatically load I thought), but for some reason it is.

The patch I just attached seems to fix the problem by loading the module just
before starting the daemon.

Comment 7 David Kaplan 2002-07-17 23:26:43 UTC 
I just attached a second patch file.  This one is more general than the first.
Comment 8 David Kaplan 2002-07-17 23:52:18 UTC 
FOUND IT!  My modules.conf had the following line:

alias net-pf-5 off  

Dont know how it got there, but apparently it blocks automatic loading of the
appletalk module (how one would know that I have no idea).  

I commented out the line and all is good.
