   I had this problem on a RedHat system running netatalk 1.3.3.
   Upgrading to 1.4b2 fixed this problem , but I had to downgrade for
   other reasons (i.e., atalkd would crash if someone entered the
   wrong password).

I use 1.4b2. I also have the problem with the wrong passwd. So it
seems I have the worst of both versions :-(.

THanks to all that suggested looking at options and such. I checked
all the "obvious" things, but nothing changed.
   
   You might want to check out some of the newest asun versions of
   netatalk; also, there's a Linux-specific netatalk list
   (linux-atalk) which, if I recall correctly, is archived at
   netspace.org. There is probably a discussion of this problem
   somewhere on that list.

Thank you. I'll switch to that list as soon as I find it.

Francesco
