Compiling netatalk 2.1.5 for EON snv_130

[Hansel Chung]

Hi, I'm kinda new to OpenSolaris but really wanted to try out ZFS as a time machine target for backing up my Mac. So I installed EON snv_130 on my PC and it's been wonderful. Except netatalk is a bit unreliable sometimes and dies on its own.

So I loaded OpenIndiana onto VMWare, and did a compile of netatalk 2.1.5 and attempted to copy it over to the EON server.

2 things appear to go wrong:
1) PAM doesn't work. It always says my username and password are incorrect. This stops if I copy over the uams from the netatalk build distributed by the EON project. Why don't my binaries work?
2) No matter how I configure AppleVolumes.default, I can't share anything. It just doesn't seem to want to share anything I list in there. Any ideas why this might happen?

Thanks!

Hi hchung,

Please see this guide and double check if you may have missed anything.
http://cafenate.wordpress.com/2009/02/08/building-netatalk-on-opensolaris-200811/

Here was the guide steps to set it up on EON as reference
To setup and use it (assuming you drop it in /tmp/afp-2.0.5.tar.bz2
cd /zpool
mkdir afp
(cd /usr ; ln -s ../zpool/afp . )
cd /usr/afp
bzip2 -dc /tmp/afp-2.0.5.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -

to start uncomment and run the afpd entry in /mnt/eon0/.exec
#(cd /usr ; ln -s ../${POOL}/afp .)
#/usr/afp/sbin/afpd -F /usr/afp/etc/netatalk/afpd.conf

Thanks! I installed snv130 onto VMWare and redid the compile using that instead of OpenIndiana and now it works fine on EON. Guess there's something different about OpenIndiana that caused it to not work.
