Problems with netatalk and dbd

[srw]

I'm having trouble getting netatalk working as a timemachine share. I've installed avahi and netatalk using the guides on this site. As soon as I start the netatalk service, I get repetive coredumps of the cnid_metad process. These continue until I stop netatalk. I read in another thread about a possible problem with the cnid database. I tried running the dnb service to scan and repair but it too fails with a segmentation fault error. Any suggestions or advice?

I'm curious, since I got hung up at this step last week. Did you start the cnid_metad? If you don't start that, the CNID process doesn't have a way to spawn the daemon that handles the node database. Once I started this, the system worked well. None of the Wikis I consulted included this step.

I'm in the process of writing a single startup script for the pogoplug that starts dbus, avahi, afpd and cnid_metad with all the proper checks for existence and failure handling. Does anyone have one? I'd like to start with one. Speaking of that, does anyone know the proper way to kill afpd if you want to shutdown gracefully? killall afpd is the only command more graceful than kill -9 $PID that I can find.

Same issues here. Wonder if its a package issue. Same segmentation faults as op
