i use netatalk for a lab of 55 IIci's for undergraduate teaching (all
the students' files are kept on a netatalk volume on a sparc 5 - they are
not allowed to create files on the local disk), and also for around 40
other macs in offices which use it less intensively.
afpd has been very reliable - in two and a half years of use i don't
recall it crashing nor netatalk causing sunos to crash,
gerry.
