From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: Editing /etc/atalk/afpd.conf has no effect whatsoever on netatalk. No mater what changes are made to the configuration file, netatalk runs under the default options, as though the configuration file had never been edited. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit /etc/atalk/afpd.conf and add a line at the bottom reading: "Guest Volume" -uamlist uams_guest.so 2. As root, do: service atalk restart 3. Try to log in as a Guest user from a Macintosh on the network. Actual Results: When trying to log in from a Macintosh on the network, I find the "Guest" option greyed out and unavailable - netatalk refuses to let me log in as a guest user. I am only given the option to log in as a Registered User. Expected Results: "Log in as Guest User" should have been an available option when trying to log in from the Macintosh. Additional info: After a little investigation, I found that if you do: strings `which afpd` | grep afpd.conf You will get: /usr/etc/netatalk/afpd.conf This is the wrong location. Netatalk should be looking for that file in /etc/atalk/afpd.conf instead. My current workaround solution is to do (as root): ln -s /usr/etc/netatalk /etc/atalk This, however, is not an optimal solution - I believe that the Netatalk rpm has been incorrectly compiled. It would be better if Netatalk looked for the configuration file in its correct location.
