It doesn't use PAM, that is for sure. Well the distributed one
doesn't anyway. There is a redhat rpm version that is hacked to use PAM.
You can find at your favorite redhat/contrib/i386/RPMS directory structure.

I have NIS and as far as I can tell, users that
exist via NIS can't login to the netatalk server. I may have done
somethign wrong tho.
