I am involved in a few of those simple uses, and have long wanted to simplify netatalk as well (by splitting the daemons as separate sysV scripts). As soon as available in Debian (but not before, I cannot find time to juggle unusual environments) I will migrate to this simple form. ...unless peers in the various teams I am involved in object, obviously. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
