I had problems with screen power management and screensavers being enabled
which would crash X when I switched back, but that was in an older version
of MOL. Switching without crashing should definitely just "work".

Actually this depends on your settings in the /etc/molrc file. They are
well documented in that file. If you ask it to come up in a small window,
then that is what it does, if you set it to come up in a virtual console
(IIRC you get to choose which one) then it should switch you there
automatically, though I believe you can choose that too.

I believe that netatalk provides atalkd, the daemon. You could also try
/etc/atalk/. If your machine is alive in the middle of the night then it
will keep a very useful database up to date automatically -- I use "locate
filename" all the time. It is very fast, but not as configurable as
"find".
You can try atalkconf as a GUI configurator, though it is old and does not
seem to be under any development.
HTH,
