Re: [Netatalk-admins] Support request: renaming default server

[Andrew H. <an...@da...>]

Hakan,

Thank you very much for that answer. It works.

I am curious though, so I played around...

I can change the name of the Samba server - change it to "server - file server". OK, that's cool.

However, I cannot change the name of the netatalk server. I changed it to "server - Time Machine", and it does show up in Finder, but it does not work when I try to open it.

I notice there is still a "server" in the list. I suppose that is still being advertised by netatalk's built in Bonjour function. "server" opens to reveal shares, but "server - Time Machine" does not.

Unfortunately, therefore, we have not managed to rename the default netatalk server, and my curiosity is still unsatisfied.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Could present the home folders using AFP but preferred CIFS due to its wider compatability - PCs, networked scanners, that sort of thing.
