Scott Small 🇨🇦<p>Update on my Netatalk 4 migration issues:</p><p>One of the Netatalk developers reached out to me over email, and said the following:</p><p>“I have a feeling you are running into a "bug" with older AppleShare clients. I noticed with System 7.1 and the stock (?) AppleShare 3.5 client that it could not connect to a Netatalk share if the size of a FPGetSrvrInfo packet exceeded 512 bytes (payload minus DDP header). This can easily happen with Netatalk 4 if you have all the UAMs enabled and have things like a specific listening port set or a really long host name.</p><p>I plan on fixing this problem, but for now, disable any UAMs that you are not using to shorten the string.”</p><p>So, I removed “uams_clrtxt.so” from my UAM list in afp.conf (I didn’t have that one enabled in my Netatalk 2 container), and after restarting the container, it worked just fine, and I was able to connect from my QEMU installation running System 7.1.</p><p>(I didn’t test from the IIfx, SE, or IIgs because I didn’t want to boot them up, but I suspect that they’re now working just fine as well).</p><p>Anyway, I’m back on 2.x for the moment which has the most up-to-date files from my shares, but I’ll try the migration again this weekend.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalTalk</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Netatalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Netatalk</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/VintageMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintageMac</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mac</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ClassicMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicMac</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/@smallsco/113308273677709443" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">oldbytes.space/@smallsco/11330</span><span class="invisible">8273677709443</span></a></p>
