[nonmactype]

I gave up on afp and used nfs and had things going in about 15 minutes…

I still would like to know what caused my original problem…but for now, I am happy.

I’m a non-mac type and I’ve got a semi-related issue. I did some searches and this is the closest thing that I found that resembled my problem.

I am using netatalk on 2 different linux boxes. I want to be able to mount drives from both machines onto a mac. I have modified the AppleVolumes.default files on both linux machines to specify the mount directories and mount points. When I connect to linux machine (A) from the mac, I get the normal “Connect to Server” window and I specify the name & password which is followed by a window which lists the machine name and the list of volumes to mount. I can select one and the remote machine is mounted fine.

The problem arises when I attempt to connect to linux machine (B) from the mac. I’m not given a “Connect to Server” window where I specify the name & password. Instead, the window which pops up lists the machine name (B) but the list of volumes to mount is that from machine A.

If I unmount everything and start over and do the same thing, with the difference being that I connect to machine B first, I’m given the “Connect to Server” window which is followed by a window which lists the mahine name and the list of volumes to mount. This time the list is correct for machine B. If I then attempt to connect to linux machine (A), I don’t get the login window, but instead get the list of mount points that is from machine B.

I’m a bit confused because mounting either machine A or B works fine. It’s just that when I connect to a second machine that things don’t work as expected.

I believe that the version of netatalk installed is 1.4b2.

thanks
