Sorry to get late into the discussion, but I have to say that using resources
in netatalk is wasting time. OSX cat perfectly use linux servers via
CIFS and NFS. You just need a Samba server on the Linux side (to let mac box
mount linux shared volume) and on the mac side (to let linux mount mac
volumes). ATALK is mostly deprecated:

<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleTalk">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleTalk</A>

volumes are shared via samba and printers via CUPS.
Anyways, it does not hurt to have a netatalk package if someone still has some
System7 macs around.

All the problem probably is just to have a correct Samba+Avahi setup. NetATalk
was much harder to configure the right way, from what I remember...

I even got autofs working on osx, to mount linux shares via NFS or CIFS.
