Hi fellow netatalkers,

I'm using Netatalk 1.4b2+asun2.0a15 on a RedHat 4.2 (intel based)
Linux box.

I'm experiencing serious problems :

- Some connections (wether AppleTalk based or IP based) happen to
close unexpectedly. Here is what I find with syslog :

via AppleTalk :

Aug 22 08:40:32 lyloo afpd[2600]: session from 5.26:242 on 5.160:134
Aug 22 08:40:32 lyloo afpd[2600]: login lautelli (uid 821, gid 841)

Aug 22 08:42:23 lyloo afpd[2600]: afp_die: asp_shutdown: Bad file number
Aug 22 08:42:23 lyloo afpd[328]: server_child[0] 2600 exited 1

via TCP/IP :

Aug 26 08:34:17 lyloo afpd[7598]: ASIP session:548(2) from 192.168.4.36:2051(0)
Aug 26 08:34:17 lyloo afpd[7598]: login lautelli (uid 821, gid 841)

Aug 26 08:56:02 lyloo afpd[328]: server_child[1] 7598 exited 1

- Child afpd don't die when the client Mac is rebooted or stopped

- I can't kill and restart the netatalk processes. Here is what I get
when I try to :

Aug 26 11:43:07 lyloo afpd[8278]: Can't register lyloo:AFPServer@*

Aug 26 11:47:40 lyloo afpd[336]: main: dsi_init: Address already in use

- I often have Mac clients that freeze when connected to a Netatalk
volume which is NFS-mounted on my Linux box (from an AIX box - BTW
does Netatalk tun on AIX ?)

Any help would be *GREATLY* appreciated (some of the users are not far
from wanting to unscrew my head and play soccer with it...)

Anyway, netatalk is a great tool.
