The latest of Adrian Sun's Netatalk patches allows two-way randnum
passwords. It also adds AFP over TCP functionality which is a big
performance boost.

The problem is, for two-way randnum excange to work, the server must know
what the user's password is - on a standard Unix system, the system does
not maintain a list of passwords.
