The init scripts don't cleanly start/stop netatalk (Network Appletalk). In particular, if there are Appletalk connections active, and you do: service atalk stop You'll probably be left with a few hanging processes: 17114 ? S 0:00 papd -f /etc/atalk/papd.conf 17119 ? S 0:00 afpd -c 5 -n mail -f /etc/atalk/AppleVolumes.default These have to be manually killed before "service atalk start" will properly restart Appletalk networking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also: It sure would be nice if the RPM's would patch in the proper firewall rules in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains. What a pain to figure out the proper rules for each package!
Sorry for the long delay in processing this bug - it somehow slipped through the cracks. The failure to stop all processes properly has been fixed in the latest netatalk version: 2.0.3-1, in rawhide-20050617 and available for download from http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/netatalk/ . There is also a version for FC3/i386 available from the above URL . Regarding the firewall configuration issue - if it is still a problem for you, please raise another bugzilla, if possible appending the firewall rules you developed for netatalk, and I'll put them in the next release - thank you!
