Netatalk is a freely-available, kernel level implementation of the
AppleTalk Protocol Suite, originally for BSD-derived systems.
A *NIX/*BSD system running Netatalk is capable of serving many
Macintosh clients simultaneously as an AppleTalk router, AppleShare
file server (AFP), *NIX/*BSD print server, and for accessing AppleTalk
printers via Printer Access Protocol (PAP). Included are a number of
minor printing and debugging utilities.
This package contains the 2.x branch of Netatalk, which has ddp-based
AppleTalk protocol support for pre-Darwin Mac systems ("Traditional
Mac OS" in Apple parlance). It exists because that support was
removed in Netatalk 3.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
