Newbie Question: Can netatalk be used to see a MAC's drive?

[Neuralmancer]

I downloaded and installed the netatalk rpm from RedHat and Netatalk seems
to be working. I can log in from the IMAC to see files on the Linuxbox.
Is it possible to do the reverse, see IMAC files from the Linuxbox?

Not with Netatalk. There is a Linux AppleTalk client, but it wasn't
useable, the last I heard. (Check http://www.panix.com/~dfoster/afpfs/
for details.) Your best bet is to install an NFS or SMB/CIFS server on
the Mac and use Linux's NFS support or Samba to access the Mac's drive.
Thursby (http://www.thursby.com) makes NFS and SMB/CIFS packages for
MacOS, but they're commercial.
