Subject: [netatalk-admins] Home directory problem

Hello to all,
I'm new to netatalk, please pardon any dust.
I read the online archives and found some questions that stated the same
problem, but I could not find a statisfying answer.
Here's the problem:
afpd is unable to read the AppleVolumes (or .AppleVolumes) file in a
users home directory.
(e.g: "tilde"/ "My home" or any other volume specified is not read)
The AppleVolumes.system file is OK and read, so is the
AppleVolumes.default file for guests.
I tried the netatalk 1.4b2 and 1.3.3 version.
They are installed on linux slackware 3.3 running shadow passwords.
The auth.c patch was installed to the 1.3.3 version and both versions
were compiled with the respectif -DSHADOW ... options.
After a little debugging, I found that in the .../etc/afpd/volumes.c
file, the function call
getpwnam always returns null from the passwd file instead of the users
home directory.
Did anyone have the same problem?
How can I solve it?
Thanks a lot for any help and hint.
