That would make sense, since the patchset mentioned below includes PAM
suppourt.

Hmm...silly me, I thought it wouldn't work at all after killing the afpd
daemon :-P

The asun source tree is (as I'm given to understand) based off the 1.4b2
source tree. What happened is that this really nice man named Adrian Sun
decided to take it upon himself to add the AppleshareIP into the source
tree, since he didn't see anyone else doing it. (there actually are a
couple of people doing it, but he's the most visible and active) This
would be his 17th patchset on whatever code base he started out with. As
he posted a few days ago, the files can be found at:
<ftp://ftp.u.washington.edu/public/asun/netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a17.tar.gz>
<ftp://ftp.u.washington.edu/public/asun/a16-a17.diff.gz>
<ftp://ftp.u.washington.edu/public/asun/1.4b2-a17.diff.gz>
Be warned: The people who actually maintain the netatalk source trees
(Wesley Craig(?) out of the the University of Michigan) say that his
changes likely won't be wholly adopted, if for no other reason than that
Washington University's legal copyright isn't compatible with the
University of Michigan's. However, that being said, asun's stuff does
work _very_ well, and it has solved a couple of problems that have cropped
up (like MacOS8 suddenly checking for more info in the finder, which
caused unceasing updates. This might be corrected in base 1.4b2, but it
wasn't last I checked.)
If you're going to use his stuff, BE SURE to read the apropriate readmes
(like README.ASUN!) and alter the sys/linux/Makefile (or wherever that is)
to match your system. Specifically, most people's source of problems
comes from not taking quota support out of the Makefile!
Have fun!
