Setting up AFP access on Linux

Here is how I set it up on Fedora Core 5:

1. yum install netatalk
2. vi /etc/atalk/afpd.conf
   Comment out last line and add this one:
   - -noddp -uamlist uams_dhx.so
3. vi /etc/atalk/AppleVolumes.default
   Add shares to the end of the file ie:
   /home home
4. Change this:
   ATALKD_RUN=yes
   PAPD_RUN=yes
   to:
   ATALKD_RUN=no
   PAPD_RUN=no
   and
   Comment out this line:
   ATALK_NAME=`echo ${HOSTNAME}|cut -d. -f1`
5. chkconfig atalk on
6. service atalk start

Then add users your users:
useradd username -g groupname
passwd username

View PDF files directly from Firefox or Camino

One of the nice features about Safari is that it displays the PDF files directly in the browser whereas Firefox and Camino will download them and then open them in Preview.

There is a free non-commercial plugin that will allow Firefox or Camino to display PDF files within the browser.

1. Download here:
   http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/
2. Mount the dmg file
3. Copy the .plugin file to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins to use for all users or ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins to use only for yourself

Happy Valentines Day with Camino 1.0!

Camino the web browser designed specifically for Mac OS X by Mozilla now has published their official 1.0 release.

It is built on Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine. It also is built on Cocoa so it looks beautiful just like the Mac OS X interface.

It doesn’t have the same extension plug-in that Firefox offers, but it makes up for it with its speed (maybe because I have too many extensions installed!)
