Not sure why the release of 11.10 contains netatalk 2.2~beta4-1

I downloaded netatalk 2.2.1, built it and replaced the release version with this and it now works. If you do do this, remember that there's a quiet dependency on libgcrypt-dev - you need to have libgcrypt-dev installed when you build in order to get a new uams_dhx2 built and installed.

netatalk 2.2.1 from sourceforge works fine on 11.10

Ferdi,

I just tried replacing the release version with 2.2.1 and I still get the same issue.

How did you do the replacement. I followed this blog post which was written for 11.04 rather than 11.10 but I don't see what difference that would make:

I was seeing this same crash on every attempt to connect via afp to the server. I stumbled across this post and figured out a workaround:

http://www.rudiswiki.de/wiki9/ServerUbuntu1204#Setup_netatalk

Using this line in /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf, the crash goes away. -mimicmodel RackMac seems to be the key. I don't know why...

- -tcp -noddp -uamlist uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx2_passwd.so -nosavepassword -advertise_ssh -mimicmodel RackMac
