= Getting Appletalk working =

Some people running Mac OS 9 still want to use Appletalk.

== Installing ==

Installation is easy, just use apt-get:

{{{
$ sudo apt-get install netatalk
}}}

== The Problem ==

The Ubuntu node shows up on the Appletalk network as 'localhost'.
This is due to 'hostname -s' returning localhost instead of
using the real name (in /etc/init.d/netatalk).


== The Solution ==

Change the appropriate line in /etc/hosts and move the
real hostname in front of 'localhost.localdomain', for
example:

{{{
127.0.0.1 realname localhost.localdomain localhost
}}}

== Bug or Feature ? ==

There's an open bug report documenting the problem with
said order in /etc/hosts that is causing trouble
with other programs, too.
