[MacPerl-AnyPerl] Netatalk (was Perl in the workplace)

["Emmanuel. M. Decarie" <emm@cam.org>]

I noticed a slight degradation of performance on a Pentium 166/64 MB of RAM.

While we are on the subject, may I ask a few questions on netatalk? (I know
I could ask this on the netatalk list).

Currently, my set-up only allow me to do the following (iMac 333 mhz,
Pentium 166, five ports hub (Asanté), EtherNet LAN):

* I never see the Linux partitions in the chooser, but can log from the
chooser by tcp/ip to the Linux box. Then I can only log as guest, never as
a user. Other than that, I can mount any partitions that I had specified in
AppleVolumes.system. Since I didn't know what is PAM or SHADOW (but I think
that shadow is when you have a password to log in your account ?), I have
put (I think that it was in the Makefile) that I supported SHADOW). Maybe
this is related. In /var/log/messages I see that I'm  connected as
"apocalypse afpd[xxx]: login noauth".

* From the iMac,  I can FTP to the Linux box using its IP (192,168.0.1),
and also go with Netscape (http://192,168.0.1) but I can't telnet to Linux.
The name of my Linux box is apocalypse.nodomain.nowhere, but I can't do
anything with it.

So my questions are:

* How can I log as a user so I don't have to be preoccupied by the Unix
permissions in this account?

* How can I telnet to the Linux box?
