I have another problem with 1.4b2 that I wanted to raise. After about a day or so, Chooser refuses to talk to the SUN.

Environment:
   Solaris 2.5.1, Sparc Ultra 140

After the failure, the server entry shows up in the chooser list, but then when you go to pick it, I get a response back of: "No response from server. Please try again."

Restarting the SUN fixes the problem for another 48 hours or so and then things hang again.

I do see this in my /var/adm/messages:

>May 21 17:44:13 stlouis afpd[12290]: afp_die: asp_shutdown: Connection timed out
>May 21 17:44:14 stlouis afpd[205]: main: asp_getsession: Resource temporarily unavailable

Also, it seems like I don't have any AFP processes running now:
>> ps -ef | grep atalk
> root 193 1 0 May 20 ? 0:00 /opt/local/atalk/etc/atalkd
> root 203 1 0 May 20 ? 0:01 /opt/local/atalk/etc/papd -p
>/etc/printcap.atalk

Until this problem is resolved, a manual work-around is:

   nbpunrgstr 'stlouis:AFPServer@*' # Where stlouis is your node name
   /opt/local/atalk/etc/afpd
