Netatalk

 

Netatalk

Netatalk is an open-source implementation of the AppleTalk suite of protocols. It allows Unix-like operating systems to serve as file, print and time servers for Macintosh computers.

Netatalk was originally developed by the Research Systems Unix Group at University of Michigan and moved to SourceForge in 2000.

Released in October 2004 Netatalk 2.0 brought major improvements. Support for Apple Filing Protocol version 3.1 (providing long UTF-8 filenames, file sizes > 2 GByte, full Mac OS X compatibility), CUPS integration, Kerberos V support allowing true "Single sign on", reliable and persistent storage of file and directory IDs and countless bugs fixed compared to previous versions.

Currently it supports the FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and Tru64 operating systems.
