 [[AppleTalk]] is a networking protocol developed by Apple before TCP/IP was ubiquitous. It originally ran on Apple-proprietary cabling, but was later adopted to run over standard Ethernet cables, which is still possible. There is little advantage to using AppleTalk over TCP/IP today, but there are some legacy machines and applications that may require it. On Linux, AppleTalk is enabled by the "atalkd" daemon.
-[[AFP]] (Apple Filing Protocol) on the other hand, is a file-sharing protocol analogous to [[SMB]] or [[NFS]], but with some features that make it more advantageous for Mac clients in some situations; for instance, AFP supports a wider character set than SMB, and has support for older Mac files with separate data and resource forks. AFP is supported on Linux by the "afpd" daemon.

 Thus, if all you need is AFP and you are running Mac OS X clients, you do //not// need to configure or worry about atalkd at all!
-===== Step-By-Step Instruction =====
+===== Step-By-Step Instruction (ffp 0.5/optware method)=====
+==== Step 1 - Preparation ====
+Set up [[telnet]] access, and either follow the [[ffp]] 0.5 or the [[optware]] guides to set up those package systems.
+==== Step 2 - Installing Appletalk/AFP ====
+[[Telnet]] or ssh into the box, if you want to use the [[ffp]] package type:
+<code>
+mkdir /ffp/packages
+cd /ffp/packages
+#rsync -av --delete inreto.de::dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages .
+#The location of netatalk has changed...
+wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/extra-packages/All/netatalk-2.0.5-1.tgz
+wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/db42-4.2.52-1.tgz
+/ffp/sbin/funpkg -i netatalk*
+/ffp/sbin/funpkg -i db42* </code>
+If you want to use the [[optware]] package type:
+<code>/opt/bin/ipkg install netatalk</code>
+==== Step 3 - Configure your AFP ====
+The default /ffp/etc/netatalk/afpd.conf or /opt/etc/netatalk/afpd.conf files should be adequate in most circumstances. It allows access to the user's home directory by using encrypted or cleartext passwords for all valid users on the system. There is good documentation in the configuration file to change the defaults if you desire.
+Setting the home directories of the users is important. This can be done in the console or in the web GUI by setting the FTP access directory for each user.
+OR, if you have an open configuration (no passwords/accounts) you can add the following to /ffp/etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default to export both of your drives (if you have 2) as Volume_1 and Volume_2. Note you can change the volume names to most any alphanumeric string.
+          /mnt/HD_a2 Volume_1
+          /mnt/HD_b2 Volume_2
+==== Step 4 - Finalizing the installation ====
+Now you should just be able to execute "afpd" and have access. You will probably want to add an "afpd" line to the fun_plug file, or the following script can be added to the [[ffp]] start directory so that it starts automatically when the unit boots.
+**afpd.sh:**<code>#!/ffp/bin/sh
+# PROVIDE: afpd
+# BEFORE:
+# REQUIRE:
+. /ffp/etc/ffp.subr
+name="afpd"
+start_cmd="afpd_start"
+stop_cmd="afpd_stop"
+status_cmd="afpd_status"
+afpd_start()
+{
+    /ffp/sbin/afpd
+}
+afpd_stop()
+{
+    killall afpd
+}
+afpd_status()
+{
+    ps -A | grep /ffp/sbin/afpd | grep -v grep
+}
+run_rc_command "$1"</code>
+In order to ensure fun_plug will detect this script and start-up the afpd automatically at startup, be sure to modify the permissions to ensure afpd.sh is executable.  The command is:
+<code>chmod +x /ffp/start/afpd.sh</code>
+===== Step-By-Step Instruction (chroot debian method)=====
 ==== Step 1 - Preparation ====
 Set up [[telnet]] access, a minimal [[chroot_debian|Debian distro]], and the "busybox" commands so that you can chroot to it. This is all on the [[chroot_debian|wiki]]. Now for some reason I couldn't get this working with the "sarge" install, but with the "etch" install it went smoothly. By downloading the minimal "etch" distro, you do NOT need a separate x86 Debian box.

 This allows you to connect to your home directory via port 12000 and encrypts the passwords.

+Also note, if your harddrives are mounted at a different location, you'll need to modify the "/mnt/HD_a2" string accordingly.  The 'df' command will show you where all of the drives are mountd.
