I need AFP because of extended attributes and resource forks required by some Mac apps. AFP is primarily needed for my Mac clients. Now, let me explain the reason for my wanting separate hostnames for AFP and SMB services. Just as before, I’ve customised the service name in the name element. $ firewall-cmd -zone=public -permanent -add-service=samba

Install the RPMs if they are not yet in.Then, create a share at the end of the same file. Do this by editing the netbios name line in the above configuration file. I’ve also changed the NetBIOS name to be distinct from the default server hostname. Edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and add the following before the first share definition. Setting up samba, the daemon for SMB, is easier. $ firewall-cmd -zone=public -permanent -add-port=5353/udp $ firewall-cmd -zone=public -permanent -add-port=548/udp

I like my AFP and SMB services to use distinct hostnames. Put this avahi service file for AFP in /etc/avahi/services/rvice. Here’s a bare minimum: hostname = serverafp The AFP configuration file is in /etc/netatalk/afp.conf. But now we’ve got to setup and sort out the init and firewall stuffs. $ firewall-cmd -zone=public -permanent -add-service=mdns If you don’t have avahi installed, then do it.If the compile is successful, you’ll find the RPMs in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/.Fortunately, we can use the SRPM for Fedora to accomplish that. So you’d have to do some compilation by hand.

However, CentOS 7 has changed a bunch of things, so you might initially find yourself stumbling around figuring out even relatively basic stuffs.įurthermore, there’s the challenge that netatalk, the software required for AFP, is not available in any (at this time) repositories, including EPEL. Ordinarily, these should be very simple tasks. However, Windows file sharing, aka Server Message Block (SMB), is even simpler, so I’ll go on to that as well. This is a short tutorial on setting up file sharing services on CentOS 7. I primarily wanted to document the steps on setting up Apple Filing Protocol (AFP).
