I installed netatalk on my Ubuntu Server a few weeks ago and configured it so that I could use Timemachine from my mac to backup on a server instead of a external hard drive.

It worked really good until yesterday when I installed Samba to be able to share certain folders on my server to my mac.

Now I receive an error msg:

There are no shares available or you are not allowed to access them on the server. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem.

From what I understand is that the problem is on the server and not on my mac. I have tried to restart the computer and without adding any of the folders Samba is sharing adding the timemachine "afp://...@...".

Is there a problem running them both at the same time, do I need to configure samba so that it doesn't reject afp?

I'm pretty new at this...
