6 atalkd.conf - Configuration file used by atalkd(8) to determine the
7 interfaces used by the master Netatalk daemon
8
10 /etc/atalk//atalkd.conf is the configuration file used by atalkd to
11 configure the Appletalk interfaces and their behavior
12
13 Any line not prefixed with # is interpreted. The configuration lines
14 are composed like:
15
16 Interface [ options ]
17
18 The simplest case is to have either no atalkd.conf, or to have one that
19 has no active lines. In this case, atalkd should auto-discover the
20 local interfaces on the machine. Please note that you cannot split
21 lines.
22
23 The interface is the network interface that this to work over, such as
24 eth0 for Linux, or le0 for Sun.
25
26 The possible options and their meanings are:
27
28 -addr net.node
29 Allows specification of the net and node numbers for this inter‐
30 face, specified in Appletalk numbering format (example: -addr
31 66.6).
32
33 -dontroute
34 Disables Appletalk routing. It is the opposite of -router.
35
36 -net first[-last]
37 Allows the available net to be set, optionally as a range.
38
39 -noallmulti (linux only)
40 On linux the interfaces, atalkd uses, are set to ALLMULTI by
41 default caused by countless NICs having problems without being
42 forced into this mode (some even don't work with allmulti set).
43 In case, you've a NIC known to support multicasts properly, you
44 might want to set this option causing less packets to be pro‐
45 cessed
46
47 -phase ( 1 | 2 )
48 Specifies the Appletalk phase that this interface is to use
49 (either Phase 1 or Phase 2).
50
51 -router
52 Like -seed, but allows single interface routing. It is the oppo‐
53 site of -dontroute.
54
55 -seed The seed option only works if you have multiple interfaces. It
56 also causes all missing arguments to be automagically configured
57 from the network.
58
59 -zone zonename
60 Specifies a specific zone that this interface should appear on
61 (example: -zone "Parking Lot"). Please note that zones with spa‐
62 ces and other special characters should be enclosed in parenthe‐
63 ses.
