Netatalk over ssh under SuSE 11.2

English Network/Internet

Hi,
I would like to use my SuSE 11.2 1TB RAID server to backup my mac using time machine. I found several tutorials on the web for using netatalk over ssh, but all these tutorials are for Ubuntu and require the debian package.
Has anybody compiled netatalk over ssh under SuSE? I cannot verify if the netatalk package installed by the SuSE installer has been compiled with this option. Alternatively could somebody point me to any documentation to help me compile netatalk?
I tried reading the netatalk manual from sourceforge, but that asks for installation of a Berkley DB that is not required under Ubuntu. All this has me completely confused! :’(
I’d appreciate if sombody could help me.
Many Thanks

IJ

I’m really disappointed. Is there nobody in this forum who’s faced this issue or nobody wishes to help?
I guess it just means I’ll have to burn an Ubuntu DVD and head to that camp.
Thanks everybody and goodbye.

I guess most of us don’t deal much with Macs. Good luck, whatever you decide to do.

Hi
We are all just users here, so in the last 24hours mo one who may be
using netatalk has passed by…

If you download the src rpm and then look at the spec file, you need to
add the openssl-devel file to the build requires, then add the
following to the configure options;


--with-ssl-dir=PATH

Where specify path to OpenSSL installation (must
contain lib and include dirs), then rebuild the rpm.

Malcom,
First of all my sincere thanks for helping me with this issue. I don’t claim to be an expert with SuSE, but I can find my way around or so I thought. Searching for netatalk using YasT only showed 2 rpms, one install rpm and the other was the dev rpm; file list under YasT showed that the dev rpm only contained header files (.h). I also tried adding the sources repository in YasT, but could not find the netatalk source rpm. Netatalk’s sourceforge page did not have the rpm either. May I ask where the source rpm for netatalk is located?
Thanks for your help

Hi
There you go;
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.2/standard/src/netatalk-2.0.3-200603231718.3.src.rpm
Just install it and all the files are placed down in /usr/src/packages/
the spec file is in the SOURCES directory. If your still not sure I
will build it for you.
