fighting spam

It seems like this list (and -admin list too) is getting too many spam
e-mails.  Can the list administrator temporary turn on the setting that
will prevent non-members to post to this list?

Re: fighting spam

Hi Alex,

I manage SourceForge.net.  We do have spam filter running for all 
SF.NET lists.   In fact we recently (this week) tightened the 
requirements to our 35,000 lists, but it's likely some stuff is still 
making it through.   It's a tough problem.

Certainly closing the list to people who have subscribed will cut down 
on the amount spam that creeps through our filters.

Re: fighting spam

Alex,

I'm the list admin for netatalk-devel.  I'm not sure who is the list admin
for netatalk-admin.

I'll do whatever is the consensus of the list members, although I'm
inclined to leave the list open to posting by non-members.  I certainly
believe the -admin list should be open to non-members as we do not want
the barrier for participation too high.  However, the -devel list is for
more hardcore people, so requiring list membership doesn't seem too
onerous.

I don't believe this list receives very much spam email.  Perhaps 3 or 4 a
week?  There are also a few spam emails that end up sent to the moderation
queue, which I delete.

Overall, I don't find it too much trouble to hit Delete when I come to a
spam email, but other people have a lower tolerance.

What does everyone think?

	Andy

What branch holds the latest development code

Hello,
I am on the hunt for a list of active branches in the netatalk cvs, and 
which is the basis for the netatalk-2.0 prereleases. I tried some 
branches, but I am nt sure which one is the right one.

Regards,

Errors on 1.6.4

We are getting lots of these errors, which mean that no-one can see the
contents of a volume:

Any ideas what it could be? Runing cnid_maint seems to solve the problem.

Thanks,

Prereleases are created from "branch-netatalk-afp-3x-dev". A "netatalk-2-0"
branch will likely be opened soon.
Current CVS differs from beta-1 in one single point, we now require Berkeley
DB >= 4.1. There have been too many strange errors with 4.0(.14).

Is Netatalk viable?

I'm wondering if this message may fall on deaf ears, as there doesn't
seem to be much activity on the list. On the other hand, I don't want my
questions below to be taken as a dreadful criticism.

I have had several servers in a large, prominent, architect's offices
running netatalk for several years quite happily. We have always had
problems with folder views refreshing, so for this reason the office
bought Ethershare (which has worked flawlessly after a few initial
problems with their support for Linux) to run on the main file server.

We are having increasing numbers of filesharing problems as more of the
office moves to OSX. OSX Panther users now seem to suffer problems every
day on our biggest Netatalk share, a 250GB RAID5 Image Server. Possibly
as a result of corruption triggered by OSX clients, we have had some
strange OS9 errors too, such as the folder contents listing of files
shown in a Photoshop "file open" listing flashing on and off. I'm
starting to worry that the number of problems are wasting people's time,
and giving me an admin headache.

I'm interested to know if people consider Netatalk suitable for a
production environment. Also, how fully featured is the netatalk 2.x
release intended to be? Is it hampered by legacy code and too few
developers?

I can see us being forced to take on X Serves or having to adopt Windows
Servers with Extreme-ZIP if we cannot resolve our netatalk problems. I'd
prefer to stick with Linux and make the open source approach work, as it
has done now for several years.

I'm very grateful for all the effort the netatalk team has put into the

Netatalk Hanging

Starting yesterday we began to experience a problem where users began
hanging up during login. This is using MacOS 9 clients. We're not
experiencing any other problems and our other Mac servers seem to be ok.

Any ideas on where I can start for trouble shooting this?

Thanks.

RE: Netatalk Hanging

Moving .AppleDB to .AppleDBbackup on a hunch seems to have temporarily
solved this. Is there something I need to do to the CNID databases to
maintain them?

  CNID didn't strike me as robust enough in the 1.6.x series to deploy 
on production servers. My 1.6.x server is running DID=last

  The 2.0 version so far has survived my torture tests. Its done 
suffciently well under similated loads that it may be time to try real 
users..
