With a default install:

Have you (a) installed the NETATALK package (not in upper case) using
yum? Note: It is not installed with the default install unless you
explicitly selected it!!!

And, (b) have you (1) started it using the network manager and set it
to start on boot using the same app?

in the /home directory using the relevant password(s). Specify the IP
address of the YDL server using afp://192.168.0.100 (for e.g.)
