Netatalk packaged for Debian
============================

This is the pre-packaged Debian version of the Netatalk protocol suite.


Security features and license complications
-------------------------------------------

Netatalk in Debian includes the DHX2 user access module (UAM),
enabling secure access from macOS 10.4 and newer.

Netatalk in Debian does not include DHX or Randnum UAMs
needed for secure access from earlier releases of macOS,
or the GSS UAM needed to authenticate with Kerberos,
or mysql CNID backend needed to store AppleDouble data in MySQL,
because Netatalk license is incompatible with OpenSSL licensing.

You can build locally with OpenSSL.
See details in debian/README.source in the source package.

Group write access
------------------

When providing group write access by use of POSIX setuid,
preserving that extended bit when clients create subdirectories
may require setting the option "perm:0770".
