Subject: [netatalk-admins] afpd.conf: Success anyone?

Hi,
I am unable to get afpd.conf to be obeyed over my AS/IP connection.
I have tried the following line:
- -tcp -noddp -rand2num -randnum -nocleartxt -noguest -nosavepassword
-nosetpassword -loginmesg "Here you are."
and gotten no luck.
I noticed that adding lines such as
foo -noguest
bar -noguest
... and HUPing the afpd server will cause "servers" foo and bar to be
registered on my AppleTalk network. Similarly, removing those lines and
HUPing makes them go away, so the file is not being ignored entirely.
However, the "-" line (documented as setting params for the "default"
server) seems to have no effect. To wit:
Passwords are still sent as clear text, DDP is still being attempted, there
is no login message, password options ignored, etc.
Has anyone gotten options in afpd.conf to work?
Specifically, I am interested in the randnum and rand2num authentication so
that cleartext will not be used to transmit passwords. (Have already built
with des to enable this in theory. Just getting it work in fact is the
problem...)
(P.S. Thanks to Adrian Sun for creating the feature.)
