netatalk-asun - File and Print Server for AppleTalk networks

netatalk is a server software for AppleTalk networks. Features include:

o Access to the UNIX file system for Macintosh and other systems with
  AppleShare client software.

o Spool PostScript print jobs to the lpd(8) spool system via Printer Access
  Protocol (PAP).

o Output PostScript print jobs from the lpd(8) spool system via Printer
  Access Protocol (PAP).

o Filter PostScript, ASCII, and various other formats to PostScript,
  including banner pages and page reversal.

o Route AppleTalk between multiple Ethernet interfaces.


In addition to the base features, Adrian Sun has added these improvements:

o Access to the file server via AFP-over-TCP.

o Support for volumes larger that 2GB.

o Randnum- and 2-Way Randnum authentication methods (courtesy S. Hirsch)

o Support for Apple II ProDOS.

o A number of bug fixes.


Don't install this port in parallel to net/netatalk; this will break both.

Requires AppleTalk support in the kernel (FreeBSD 2.2 or newer).
