I'm running OSX on one iMac and OS 9.2 on another. Both access two Debian
machines, one running Woody, the other running Sarge. Both netatalk are
strictly "out of the box" installations.
Out of the box, each person who is a known user of a Debian host can
access files in his home directory on that Debian host. If you want
to have the Macs access to anything besides the home directory of a
single user of a Debian box, you need to edit the netatalk config file
in order to tell it what else should be accessable. I've never done
that, but I'm sure its not hard. Debian netatalk is much easier to
set up than RedHat was the last time I did it a few years ago.
