NETATALK.CONF(5) Netatalk 2.2 NETATALK.CONF(5)

NAME

netatalk.conf - Configuration file used by Netatalk 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 afpd 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.
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
