Do you have netatalk and fuse-afp installed on your Linux machines? I
have know idea if they work, I decommissioned my MAC in the late 90s when
I switched to Linux so I've never tried to communicate between a Mac and
Linux, but those two modules are supposed to support Appletalk. For a
modern Unix based Mac you should be able to use NFS to share directories
between Linux and Macs.

I have netatalk installed, and I will try to install fuse-afp
