This I actually knew, however since the netatalk package placed the rc.atalk
in /usr/pkg/etc, I thought that maybe we also had NetbSD look there at
startup....guess not..

Excellent info, thanks.  I was not able to find a AppleVolumes.default
anywhere on my system and installing the netatalk package, so I had to
create one..  So, for the purpose of a mailing list archive if someone is
looking for one  here is an example of mine

#
#volumes

~  #users home directory
/path/to/something "Name to see on Appleshare"
/path/to/something_else "Some Other Name to see on Appleshare
#
# type / creator mappings
.txt TEXT R*ch #BBEdit
.sit SITD SIT! #Stuffit
.img rohd ddsk #Apple Disk Copy
.mov MooV TVOD #Quicktime Movie


And for other newbies to netatlk (like me) you can place a .AppleVolumes
file config'ed like the above in a users home dir and it will override the
AppleVolumes.default in /usr/pkg/etc/
 
Next question, what is the difference between the netatalk package that I
installed via pkgsrc and the netatalk1.4b2+asun2.13 that I keep hearing
about, I assume that asun serves some purpose (over IP maybe?) and if so
where and how do I add asun to my current netatalk setup
