Netatalk will not start

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.0

Symptom:

Netatalk does not start. Instead you get the message:
Starting netatalk: nbp_regstr: Connection timed out
Canīt register linux:Workstation@*
nbp_rgstr: Connection timed out
Canīt register linux:netatalk@*

Reason:

The fundamental service /usr/sbin/atalkd needs a long time to start, because the Appletalk protocol is self configuring. For this reason the monitoring utility startproc which intercepts the output, fails.

Solution:

Either
  1. you can modify the script /sbin/init.d/atalk by hand. The line which looks like this:
            startproc /usr/sbin/atalkd || return=$rc_failed
    
    Should be modified to look like this:
            /usr/sbin/atalkd
    
  2. Or you can install the new package: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/n1/netatalk.rpm.
