AFP shares from linux

That should be enough to get a working set of binaries. You may want to check /etc/netatalk/uams to make sure the necessary user authentication modules (“uams”) got built. The ones you really want are uams_dhx_passwd and uams_dhx2_passwd. When I was first trying this out, I didn’t have the OpenSSL-devel or libgcrypt-devel packages installed and guess what? No OpenSSL/libgcrypt, no dhx/dhx2 uam. Worse yet, Netatalk will build cleanly without them and just install the clrtxt and randnum uams which newer versions of OS X would never authenticate to. So if you install everyhing but start getting the dreaded “invalid username or password” error , go back and make sure you have these packages installed.

Steps on cents

Install openssl-devel
install libgcrypt-devel

yum install opnssl-devel libgcrypt-devel

get the SRC (these notes are for version 2.2.3) from http://netatalk.sourceforge.net

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/netatalk/netatalk/2.2.3/netatalk-2.2.3.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fnetatalk.sourceforge.net%2F&ts=1345807573&use_mirror=switch

Unpack the src file

tar zxvf netatalk-2.2.3.tar.gz

cd into the source tree, and build in like this:

./configure --with-redhat --enable-ddp --with-cracklib
make
make install

now check the output of afpd -V, should be like this: (exact paths may alter depending on whetjer you used the "--with-redhat" above.

Check the "UAM search path:" to be certain it has DXH2 support:

uams_dhx2_passwd.a  uams_dhx_pam.la	 uams_dhx.so	     uams_krb4.la   uams_passwd.a  uams_randnum.so

Ready to configure, this varies depending on what you need. Make sure if you have a netatalk.conf file it include the DHX2 libraries.

You can check it's loaded them with:

lsof | grep afpd

look for lines like:

afpd      28568   root  mem       REG        9,0    46903    1090442 /usr/local/etc/netatalk/uams/uams_dhx2_pam.so
