   afp logins no longer work properly with my login system (but do work with
   the chooser), and yet i am doing nothing inordinately unconventional in my
   coding; before enabling quotas, the afp login thing works. In the syslog
   file, i see this (the symptom is the login freezes). I deduce therefore
   that either

what is this "afp login" thing?

you're being mislead by these messages. they're non-fatal and have
nothing to do w/ quota support per se. from this, it looks like
you've setup your netatalk to use directories that it can't write
in. i bet you have a setup like the following:
        /home/quota.*
        /home/account

in you're AppleVolumes.*, you have /home as the volume to be shared. i
suspect that you're login thing is doing something unexpected. in my
opinion, setting up specific "mac-only" directories to be shared works
much better than just sharing everything.
