I'm afraid that is a Mac thing, not a netatalk thing. Appleshare allows you
to be only one person at a time to any given server. As far as I know, there
is no way to change this behaviour.
The only hack of which I can think would be to set up an aliased IP on the
server, also running an instance of netatalk, which would likely convince
the Mac that the two different servers justify two different users. This is
a rather ugly way to go about it, however.
