I want to access my files on the FreeBSD NAS via AFP and not SMB. SMB is too Windows-like 
First we nee Bonjour to multicast the DNS-name of the server. This is implemented by avahi. (Why does it nee to install so many X ports…?)
# cd /usr/ports/net/avahi
# make install clean
Now start the daemons (remember to modify rc.conf)
#Avahi
avahi_daemon_enable=”YES”
dbus_enable=”YES”
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon start
Now we need a service talking AFP: netatalk
# cd /usr/ports/net/netatalk
# make install clean
Now start the daemons (remember to modify rc.conf)
#Netatalk (AFP)
netatalk_enable=”YES”
atalkd_enable=”NO”
afpd_enable=”YES”
papd_enable=”NO”
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/netatalk start
Now the AFP is running, and you should be able to see the server in a Finder + be able to login and see the home directory of a specific user.
