![Netatalk icon](/media/netatalk.png)First you should deactivate services provided by Netatalk which are not needed if you just want to use your Ubuntu box for file sharing. This will speed up the response and startup time of Netatalk dramatically. For instance Netatalk starts the old AppleTalk protocol by default which is just needed for pre OS X systems. So we're going to use the graphical editor gedit for stopping unneeded services:
`sudo gedit /etc/default/netatalk`
``` bash
sudo gedit /etc/default/netatalk
```
gedit should pop up with the defined file loaded as superuser (needed for saving). Find the "#Set which daemons to run" part and replace the default values with these to enable just AFP and disable all unneeded services. Let the cnid_meta daemon run too and if you want to [share your Linux connected printer with your Mac](http://www.zaphu.com/2008/04/29/ubuntu-guide-configure-netatalk-to-share-a-usb-printer/) also enable the pap daemon (set to yes):
`ATALKD_RUN=no
```
ATALKD_RUN=no
PAPD_RUN=no
CNID_METAD_RUN=yes
AFPD_RUN=yes
TIMELORD_RUN=no
A2BOOT_RUN=no`
A2BOOT_RUN=no
```
Here it's very important to run the cnid_meta daemon because this service will handle all the metadata for us (namely the reosurce fork) which would get lost due to the fact that your Linux box isn't formatted as Apple's HFS+. If you're interested what the other services could do: atalkd is the AppleTalk daemon (pre-OSX file sharing, old printing), timelord can make your Linux box a network time server and please don't ask me for what a2boot is good for (If you know it, post it in the comments please / [Kelly suggests it's a netboot server for client Macs](http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/#comment-7632)).
Press Ctrl + S to save the document or choose File > Save. Next we have to edit the main config file for AFP sharing called afpd.conf:
`sudo gedit /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf`
``` bash
sudo gedit /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf
```
Scroll to the very bottom of the document and add this to the bottom (replace the whole line in case there's already one). This is one line so be sure that there's no line break in your afpd.conf file:

![Time Machine Volume icon](/media/timemachinedisk97.png)Now we have to tell the afpd daemon what Volumes to share. This is defined in the AppleVolumes.default file inside /etc/netatalk/. The following line will open this file in the gedit editor with superuser privileges (required for saving) where we can define our shared volumes:
`sudo gedit /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default`
``` bash
sudo gedit /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default
```
Scroll to the bottom of the document and define your Volume shares. By adding the following line you will share each users home directory with the user name as the Volume name. To make things more secure you can define all users who are allowed to connect to your Ubuntu box via AFP:
`~/ "$u" allow:username1,username2 cnidscheme:cdb`
```
~/ "$u" allow:username1,username2 cnidscheme:cdb
```
Because we want to use the Ubuntu machine as a backup server for Time Machine you should define a second volume just for Time Machine. Create a new folder in your home directory first and name it TimeMachine (or anything you like). Then add the following line to your AppleVolumes.default. This is one line so be sure that theres no line break in your AppleVolumes.default file:
`/home/username/TimeMachine TimeMachine allow:username1,username2 cnidscheme:cdb options:usedots,upriv`
````
/home/username/TimeMachine TimeMachine allow:username1,username2 cnidscheme:cdb options:usedots,upriv
```
Thanks to [tsanga](http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/#comment-50) for pointing out the usedots and upriv options. The usedots option is required if you want to use invisible files and folders (those starting with a dot in the name). Otherwise afpd would encode them as :2e which is bad if you have to use invisible files (like .htaccess). If you're on Leopard **and have no Tiger installed Macs in your network or mixed OS X versions in your network** you should use the upriv option which adds support for AFP3 unix privileges. If you have Macs with Tiger installed just use options:usedots to avoid unexpected behavior:
`/home/username/TimeMachine TimeMachine allow:username1,username2 cnidscheme:cdb options:usedots`
```
/home/username/TimeMachine TimeMachine allow:username1,username2 cnidscheme:cdb options:usedots
```
Finally if you want more stability and can accept slower file transfers you can use the dbd cnidscheme (cnidscheme:dbd).

Although we now have a fully configured AFP file server it will not show up in the Finder sidebar on Mac OS X Leopard (but it's reachable via Go > Connect to Server... in the Finder). Macs use a service called [Bonjour](http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/bonjour.html) for the sidebar thing (and for a lot of other cool stuff) and on the Linux side we can have this functionality with the Open Source implementation of Bonjour, called [Avahi](http://avahi.org/).

## 4. Install Avahi
![Bonjour icon](/media/bonjour97.png)So the Avahi daemon will advertise all defined services across your network just like Bonjour do. So let's install the avahi daemon and the mDNS library used for imitating the Bonjour service. When fully configured this will cause all Macs in your network to discover your Ubuntu box automatically:
`sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon
sudo apt-get install libnss-mdns`
``` bash
sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon
sudo apt-get install libnss-mdns
```
To make everything work properly you have to edit the nsswitch.conf file:
`sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf`
``` bash
sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf
```
Just add "mdns" at the end of the line that starts with "hosts:". Now the line should look like this:
`hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 mdns`
```
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 mdns
```
Press Ctrl + S to save the document or choose File > Save.
## 5. Configure Avahi and advertise services
![Bonjour icon](/media/bonjour97.png)Next we have to tell Avahi which services it should advertise across the network. In our case we just want to advertise AFP sharing. This is done by creating a xml-file for each service inside /etc/avahi/services/ following a special syntax. Let's create a xml-file for the afpd service with the following line:
`sudo gedit /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service`
```bash
sudo gedit /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service
```
A blank document should open in gedit. Now paste the following into the document and save the file by pressing Ctrl + S or by choosing File > Save:
`
``` xml
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">

update: The last part is used to assign a specific (Apple) hardware model to your Linux box. In this example your server will be advertised as an XServe and will be shown with this icon in the Finder sidebar. This will come in handy when you want to use your own icon for it or the one's made by me provided within this article. Thanks to [Simon Wheatley](http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/2008/04/06/avahi-finder-icons/trackback/) for figuring this out. Additionally you can use these models in this file: RackMac (same as Xserve), PowerBook, PowerMac, Macmini, iMac, MacBook, MacBookPro, MacBookAir, MacPro, AppleTV1,1, AirPort
Finally restart the avahi daemon to activate all changes:
`sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart`
``` bash

Now you have configured the Avahi daemon to advertise AFP sharing across your network which will cause your Ubuntu box to show up in Finder's sidebar in Mac OS X Leopard. In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger your Ubuntu server should now be visible under Network.

In case of a full system restore you would have to boot your Mac from the Mac OS X installation DVD (the one delivered with your Mac) by pressing the c key during boot. Your Mac will start with a minimal UI where you have a Utilities section in the top menu bar. There you'll find "Restore from a Time Machine Backup" but it won't find your network share with your Time Machine backup. Luckily [Dmitry Nedospasov found a way to manage this](http://nedos.net/2008/03/29/restore-from-an-unsupported-time-machine-backup-with-the-leopard-dvd/) by simply mounting your Time Machine network share with the Terminal (which you can find under Utilities in the menu bar too) by utilizing the following syntax (shamelessly copied from [Dmitry](http://nedos.net/2008/03/29/restore-from-an-unsupported-time-machine-backup-with-the-leopard-dvd/)):
`mount -t afp afp://username:password@hostname/ShareName /Volumes/ShareMount`
``` bash
mount -t afp afp://username:password@hostname/ShareName /Volumes/ShareMount
```
Replace everything instead of /Volumes with your matching names. You can test if your network share was properly mounted by doing
`ls /Volumes`
``` bash
ls /Volumes
```
which outputs the content of the Volumes folder and you should see your network share.
