OK, so I looked in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.atalk

and started afpd and papd and I can now connect to my machine via
appletalk...COOL!

Next question...

How do I make all this start at boot time?  I _was_ assuming (yeah I know)
that since it was in the pkg/etc dir that the rc.atalk would get read at
start time... it doesn't, where and _what_ do I need to add so that atalkd
starts at boot time...

Also, how do I add a point to be shared on my netbsd system?  for instance I
make a directory /shared that I want all users to be able to access

while I am on the subject of things that start at boot time, assuming I
would like for X to come up autmatically I would ask again what to config
here....I can use xdm to get it to come up, that is easy enough, but it
always starts with TWM which is not what I want, as I have xinit configed to
start with enlightenment when I type startx

thanks for any help

Greg

P.S. Phillip, I am looking at what you sent me now, but I have just started,
so maybe some of this is shown there....
thanks
