Be careful. The last time I looked,netatalk was only packaged up to 
v.1.64 or some such, which behaves badly with OS X. You need at least 
netatalk v.2

Don't whatever you do be tempted to run v.1.6.4 with OS X because it will 
run, but do wierd and unpleasant things.

The last time I did this,I had to build from a tarball. That's a bit 
intimidating if you haven't done it before, but pretty straight forward if 
you have.

Personally I think you will probably do better to try Samba, because 
Ubuntu and OSX both speak Samba. Don't ask me how to do it though because 
I'm happy to say that I'm a Windows Free Zone!
