if creating a volume:
[TimeMachine]\npath = /mnt/tm\nvalid users = timemachine\nea = ad\nappledouble = v2\ntime machine = yes
no errors will be reported when attempting to login, but the login will eventually time out and fail. Simply changing the name from "TimeMachine" to "Time Machine" appears to fix the issue.

    I ran into this too with netatalk 3.0.1.

    Very annoying, with no clues as to why netatalk didn't work until I found this bug report. I tried maxdebug, and no clues I could read.

    I think this has been resolved long ago. With 3.1.15 prerelease code, I can define TM volumes with spaces in them, and having a macOS Ventura system back up hourly for the last day or so.
