Netatalk looked like it would take some pretty heavy kernel hacking to get it to work. I've installed CAP as per Peter Child's instructions, and it almost works! The FreeBSD machine can see the printer (Laserwriter 630), but it can't see our Quadra 700 or 800. Nor can they see it, so we can't get AUFS to work (although AUFS works when you access it using ash. I've also tried to find the FreeBSD server using the demo version of MacPing. No joy there either. All of these machines are on the one thinnet ethernet. There's a Novell server there too, but I don't think it has anything to do with it. A confusing thing I found in the docs was this business about Phase 1 and Phase 2 Appletalk. Am I right in saying that the CAP docs are wrong when they say you can't do Phase 2 ethertalk with CAP under FreeBSD? Has anyone any idea what I'm doing wrong?
