[Netatalk-admins] linux as time capsule / mac backup

[zeek <ze...@sp...>]

Greetings, I'm trying to do the Time Capsule on Linux thing. I posted 
this question on linuxquestions at the url below. The summary of my 
problem is I can authenticate against afpd, mount a share, and copy 
files but when I try to connect this to Time Machine (OS X 10.7.5) I 
don't see the disk. More details at below (and at linuxquestions). If 
you have any suggestions they'd be much appreciated.

I have kernel 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5 (CentOS 5.9) and netatalk-2.0.5-4.el5. 
I've defined the following (a very minimal configuration):

Code:

/etc/atalk/AppleVolumes.default:

/opt/backups/fecha "TimeCapsuleMogwai" cnidscheme:dbd 
options:usedots,upriv,tm allow:zeek

/etc/atalk/atalkd.conf:

eth0

/etc/atalk/afpd.conf:

- -tcp -noddp -uamlist uams_dhx2_passwd.so -nosavepassword


I'm able to authenticate against afp://mogwai, mount TimeCapsuleMogwai, 
and read and write files and directories to this. HOWEVER, when I try to 
connect this to Time Machine (OS X 10.7.5) I don't see the disk. I think 
it has something to do with these warnings when I start /etc/init.d/atalk

Code:

Starting AppleTalk services:
   Starting atalkd:socket: Address family not supported by protocol
socket: Address family not supported by protocol
atalkd: can't get interfaces, exiting.
                                                            [FAILED]

   Starting afpd:                                           [  OK  ]

Here are the logs:
