Netatalk 2.2.3 is available

Netatalk 2.2.3
==============

The Netatalk development team is proud to announce version 2.2.3 of
the Netatalk File Sharing suite. This is the latest update to the 2.2
release series. All users are encouraged to upgrade their systems to 2.2.3.

Netatalk is a freely-available Open Source AFP fileserver. It also
provides a kernel level implementation of the AppleTalk Protocol Suite.
A *NIX/*BSD system running Netatalk is capable of serving many Macintosh
clients simultaneously as an AppleShare file server (AFP), AppleTalk
router, *NIX/*BSD print server, and for accessing AppleTalk printers via
Printer Access Protocol (PAP).
Included are a number of minor printing and debugging utilities.

The suite contains:

* afpd - a file server that implements the Apple Filing Protocol, allowing
  clients running MacOS to access Unix file servers
* atalkd - an implementation of the AppleTalk protocol
* papd - a print server that enables Macintosh computers to access printers
  connected to Unix servers
* megatron - a tool to convert files in Macintosh specific formats like
  BinHex, AppleSingle, or MacBinary into files readable by Unix computers
* various supporting programs and utilities

Summary of hot stuff and enhancements in 2.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* AFP 3.3 support (necessary for TimeMachine and Lion)

Current user quota status

What's the current status of user quotas in netatalk?
I'm running 2.2.1 and while quotas are enforced, the disk free space on a mounted share only reports the
total free blocks of the volume as opposed to the blocks available to that user (which is what samba does,
for example). I need the share to report as free space the user remaining quota. This will also help Time
Machine to clean the old backups when reaching the available quota.

Hello,

undefined so not a reccomended thing to do :)

Re: Netatalk 2.2.2 sluggish downloading while uploading files compared to samba

 Netatalk 2.2.2 takes a longer compared to samba to load a file if a
 lot of uploads to the server are done at the same time. Samba does not
 have this problem in the same situation. When I'm not uploading lots
 of small files Netatalk behaves similarly to Samba. I'm at no where
 near the throughput capacity of my disks, near my my memory capacity
 limits and the CPU for afpd bounces between 10%-15% of a quad core i5
 at 3.3 Ghz. The cnid process is < %1.

I succeeded in making this problem reproduce.
Ubuntu 12.04 *Desktop* has no problem.
Ubuntu 12.04 *Server* causes this problem.

Both differ in /etc/pam.d/common-auth .

>auth    requisite                       pam_deny.so
