I've ran it successfully with systems as old as 7.5.5 using the netatalk.sh. rc script that installs in /usr/local/etc/rc.d I do recall that I tried rolling my own at onw time which DIDN'T work. The default netatalk.sh gives a hint as to why this is at the start: # AppleTalk daemons. Make sure not to start atalkd in the background: # its data structures must have time to stablize before running the # other processes.
