Guest/anonymous access to AFP on 8.0.1b

[mpi]

In 8.0.1b there's still mentioned that afp-anonymous access might not be working. I actually mapped a guest-user, enabled the guest access for AFP and published the underlying share. When trying to access the share it does not allow any anonymous access except for all created local users. So it's just the guest-access which is not working...

Just found out, that the process is forked by providing a config-path of '/etc/afpd.conf' although the config is in /usr/local/etc.
So I just symlinked the config in /usr/local to /etc by doing
ln -sf /usr/local/etc/afpd.conf /etc/afpd.conf
and reloaded the afp-daemon and, what a surprise, guest access now works.

Perhaps this could be checked in b3 or something ...

WOW, indeed it works like a charm! thanks!

Nice catch! Thanks for pointing that out, it'll be fixed

Just for the logs...
it should be fixed in /etc/local/rc.d/netatalk in line 40 where it reads

checkyesno afpd_enable && /usr/local/sbin/afpd -P ${pidfile} -F /usr/local/etc/afpd.conf
