I would assume that this has to do with the fact that Appletalk is a very
"chatty" protocol. I know that in the readme for netatalk it warns that
atalkd should not be started in the background as it has to build a
database. I don't think it's "waiting" for anything, I believe it is
recording the other appletalk devices it finds.
just a guess.
