I didn't find this file mentioned in the docs, and it doesn't exist 
on my system.
Can you point me at some instructions about setting it up?

I did this at the instance of the "walk through" docs on the website 
- it didn't make sense to me either!
What's a "FQDN"?  rc.conf just calls /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

MacIIvx# cat /etc/ifconfig.ae0
inet 192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0


where 192.168.3.1 is arbitrary, following instructions in the "walk through".
I also put 192.168.3.1 in the TCP/IP control panel as the IP address.

Here is the relevant part of the startup:

IPv6 mode: host
Building databases...
Starting syslogd.
Checking for core dump...
savecore: no core dump
Mounting all filesystems...
Clearing /tmp.
Checking quotas: done.
Creating runtime link editor directory cache.
Updating motd.
starting local daemons:.
Starting inetd.
Starting cron.
Tue Jul 17 18:35:53 EDT 2001

NetBSD/mac68k (MacIIvx) (tty00)
...


It looks as if I DIDN'T start the netatalk daemons! How does one do so?



Multithanx to you all,
