This software provides a Kernel level implementation of the AppleTalk Protocol Suite.
Netatalk is a Linux daemon that offers a range of possibilities for POSIX-compliant *NIX/*BSD systems to share printers and files with Apple Macintosh. The software is freely available, and its kernel level implementation of the AppleTalk Protocol Suite was originally aimed at BSD-derived platforms.
A *NIX/*BSD system with netatalk installed functions as an AppleTalk router, an AppleShare file server (AFP), a *NIX/*BSD print server, and provides access to AppleTalk printers through the Printer Access Protocol (PAP). Additionally, the software includes some minor printing and debugging utilities.
With netatalk, a single system can serve multiple macintosh clients simultaneously, granting access to shared resources securely and seamlessly. The software's easy installation process and reliable performance make it an attractive option for users seeking powerful networking features for their *NIX/*BSD systems.
