IMHO the problem is that there is a component of the appletalk code in the kernel which has it's own state. Therefore you needs must either reboot the kenel (as you have been doing) _or_ build the appletalk code into a reloadable module which enables you to recover the situation without dirsrupting other services.

Not that this explains away the cause of the problem? I remember having it but I don't have it any more. Probably the cause is the appleshare client. I use B1-3.7.

        Problem Reiterated:
        A Macintosh user attempts to login and specifies the wrong username and/or
        password. The next person attempting to connect to the server gets the
        message No response from the server. The server itself seems fine. I can
        still do nbplkup and see all the other Macs on the network.
        I attempt to restart the process by typing (in /etc/rc.d/init.d/) ./atalk
        stop (that works) but for some reason ./atalk start does not.
        I get a message about Child process not starting. So to restart atalkd I
        have to reboot the server.
