NETATALK.CONF(5)

NAME
netatalk.conf - Configuration file used by the Netatalk init script to determine its general configuration

SYNOPSIS

/etc/netatalk/netatalk.conf

:DESTDIR:/etc/default/netatalk

DESCRIPTION

/etc/netatalk/netatalk.conf is the configuration file used by the netatalk init script to determine what portions of the file system will be shared via AFP, as well as their behaviors.

If netatalk has been configured with --enable-debian, it is not /etc/netatalk/netatalk.conf but :DESTDIR:/etc/default/netatalk.

    Note

    If netatalk has been configured with --enable-systemd, the netatalk.conf file is NOT used at all. Instead, the startup settings are governed by the systemd unit configuration files of the netatalk daemons, in tandem with the configuration files of each daemon individually.

Any line not prefixed with # is interpreted. The configuration lines are composed like:

option = value

The possible options and their meanings are:

AFPD_GUEST
    Sets the id of the guest user to a local user on the system.

AFPD_MAX_CLIENTS
    Sets the maximum number of clients that can simultaneously connect to the server.

AFPD_RUN
    Enables the afpd daemon if set to "yes". This should be enabled if you are planning on using netatalk as a file server.

AFPD_UAM_LIST
    Sets the default UAMs for afpd (and papd, if printer authentication is compiled in) to use.

    Example: AFPD_UAMLIST="-U uams_guest.so,uams_randnum.so"

CNID_METAD_RUN
    Enables the cnid_metad daemon if set to "yes". This should be enabled if you are going to use the dbd CNID backend.

CNID_CONFIG
    Configuration options for cnid_metad. See: cnid_metad(8)

ATALK_BGROUND
    "yes" will set netatalk to initialize in the background, and "no" will cause normal initialization.

ATALK_NAME
    Sets the machines' Appletalk name.

ATALK_ZONE
    Sets the machines' Appletalk zone.

ATALKD_RUN
    Enables the atalkd daemon if set to "yes". This should be enabled if you are planning on providing Appletalk services.

PAPD_RUN
    Enables the papd daemon if set to "yes". This should be enabled if you are planning on using netatalk as a print server.

ATALK_MAC_CHARSET
    Set the Mac client codepage, used by atalkd and papd to convert extended characters from the Unix to the Mac codepage.

ATALK_UNIX_CHARSET
    Set the Unix codepage, used by atalkd and papd to convert extended characters from the Unix to the Mac codepage. Has to match the codepage of the configuration files.
