Enable AFP file sharing using terminal

I am currently in the process of building a modular disk image based on 10.6 with combo updates but I have run into a small problem how to turn on afp file sharing using terminal I have looked on line books forums without any luck.

I’ve just run in to the same problem as you. I was just wondering if/how you were able to resolve this.

For anyone else, basically what I need to do is replicate the GUI funcitonality of going to System Preferences -> Sharing, enableing “File Sharing” and sharing /Volumes/Scratch.

It turns out it was as easy as enabling the LaunchDaemon for AFP. I just created a payload free package containing

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple/AppleFileServer.plist
