Well, what I have found to work with my setup: Slackware Linux 2.0.30
(from the Slackware 96 rel) and netatalk 1.4b2 is the following...
This only works if you have appletalk compiled as a module!!!
Kill all atalk processes..
do a lsmod to make sure appletalk is nolonger being used.
rmmod appletalk
modprobe appletalk (or however you like to install modules)
then run you /etc/rc.d/rc.atalk script again.
This clears up the probelms and keeps me from having to reboot!!!
Cheers,
Walt
