Well, I've never gotten around this one myself. On Linux(which I assume
you have), I hear that kernel & libc patches will allow that to happen,
although I've never done it. One hack-around is to compile appletalk as
a module, then unload & re-load it when you want to restart the daemon.
Another hack-around is to use IP Aliasing (having multiple addresses on
one net card). I've found that I can bring atalkd back up by enabling a
virtual address, then setting atalkd to use eth0:1. As I said, these
are hack-arounds.

Make sure that, again using RedHat Linux's scripts (I'm not real sure of
anything else), you have a 'K' script. Specifically, if you have a
'S65atalk', symlink that to 'K65atalk'. If that doesn't work, make sure
that that 'K' script is in all your /etc/rc.d/rcX.d directories.
Hope this helps,
