Indeed. Just so it's clear, I was only addressing the question on the subject line. That
of providing just a TM service.

As Stefan points out, Samba is likely to be a better choice if additional file system
services are required.

One presumes that if TM doesn't work with current Samba it should be possible to run both
Samba and netatalk together, but I have not tried this.
