For those using netatalk for AFP shares in this case I am using CentOS, the EL5 compiles are missing the configure lines for the dhx2 extension, which is required by OSX Lion, if you are running x86_64 you can grab this file: netatalk-2.0.5-2.x86_64.rpm I have also emailed the Package maintainer @ EPEL with the changes I have made for this RPM so I would like to think that -2 will be available from EPEL soon.
Let me know if you have any issues with my RPM.
UPDATE: Official Rebuild in testing

ImportError: No module named ma
Fix is to edit the following files:
1
2
| sudo vi /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib-0.91.1-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg/matplotlib/numerix/ma/__init__.py
sudo vi /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib-0.91.1-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg/matplotlib/numerix/npyma/__init__.py |
On my installed on lines 16 and 7 respectively replace
1
| from numpy.core.ma import * |
with
and done.

Having little time to update my blog, I’ve been updating a wiki I keep with various tidbits, so I thought I might as well share a few, they will be appearing on here over the next few days.
First off you will want to open the “Terminal” application, not so much a play on words it is really called Terminal.
Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
1
| showmount -e aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd |
Where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP or FQDN of your NFS server, this command will show a list of mountable exports on the device.
1
| sudo mount -t ntfs aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:/exported/path ~/Desktop/nfs_folder |
If you look on your desktop you will now see that the folder icon has changed to an aliased drive icon 
NOTE: These changes will not persist through a reboot, I have not yet found a way of doing this short of some apple / automator script to remount the drives on startup.

Part 2 has finally arrived …. don’t all cheer at once now …
In part two I will cover how to run an IP range scan using bash script, and if the host can be pinged retrieve the MAC address of the connected host.
Now bare in mind this script was written to run from a MAC running OSX Leopard.

RESULT=`ping -c 1 -t 1 $IPS_RANGE$i | grep "bytes from"`;
if [ -z "$RESULT" ]; then
echo -e "$IPS_RANGE$i:$RED DEAD $CLEAR";
# If you comment out the above to report just the alive hosts, bash gets a bit funny about not processing anything here, so uncomment the below to keep it happy
#holder=$i;
else
MAC=`arp $IPS_RANGE$i | awk '{ print $4 }';`;
echo -e "$IPS_RANGE$i:$GREEN ALIVE $CLEAR ($MAC)";
fi
done
}
colours;
$1 $2 |
To make this work on your Linux distro replace -t in the ping command with -W and check the awk entry for the arp output, a display of (no) means that no ARP entries could be found for the host, and change the IP range to that of your network.
That’s it for this part, dump this is a file and chmod +x as useual and run with ./script.sh ipscan.

As I sit here tapping away on the iMAC currently in use whilst I wait on my Mac Book Pro, I am looking at various projects around the Google APS API … One notably of which is the Google Docs, file sharing and collab system.
“MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X (10.4 and above). It aims to be API-compliant with the FUSE (File-system in USErspace) mechanism that originated on Linux.”
Not much to the end user, but basically will allow you (with some programming) to mount pretty much anything as a file system volume.
The techdemo video lists implementations such as docFS (Google Doc’s API) and rssFS (rss feeds as a file system).
Looking at the hello world example on the macFuse wiki it should be fairly simple to implement pretty much anything as a file system.
More to come once the MBP arrives.
