I don't have NAS.
I don't want to buy most low-cost NAS sold in Japan.
I don't trust NAS vendor of Japan at all.
They don't update software.
netatalk 2.0 was installed until netatalk 2.2 was released.

Since it has connected by TCP/IP, AppleTalk is unnecessary. 
They don't know even the meaning of AppleTalk.

I am almost inexperienced in programming and can not understand how to
use a pointer. But I know the meaning of AppleTalk.
NAS vendor in Japan has intelligence lower than I.

However, there are many powerful users in Japan.
They hack NAS and install the newest netatalk.

In case of I-O Data HDL2-G2.0 and HDL4-G2.0, while hacking,
etc directory is writable. But, after rebooting, it is read-only.
I proposed creating empty afp_signature.conf and linking it from etc.
Hacked NAS is working favorably.
