He is running under CAP 6.0, which has some changes. All the cap clients require etalk.local to be created and updated apropriately, and atis ensures that that is done - even under IPTalk. You can manually create the file if you want, then atis is not required, but most sites tend to want to use one of aufs or lwsrv, or at least have snitch running to indicate the unix machine is on the appletalk network. It would just be simple enough to start up atis, then run atlook initially to make sure the CAP 6.0 installation works. Rakesh Patel.
