Hi!
Iīve installed netatalk 1.4b2 on two PCs, a 486 and a 133 MHz Pentium w/ 16 MB RAM.
Linux is from a SuSE 5.0 distribution, the kernel says itīs 2.0.30.
After setting up various accounts the following problem persists: No matter under which name and from which
Mac (Sys 7.6 on a II fx or 8.0 on different PowerMacs), any attempt to log in as user results in a message
"Wrong password...". Logging in as guest works fine.
This is an excerpt of /var/log/messages:

In a netatalk.faq I found a reference to this problem, with one explanation concerning "illegal shells", the other with shadow passwords. I did grep on all the log files I could think of and didnīt get an entry for illegal. As for shadow passwords, I presume itīs a default of this distribution to use them, there is an /etc/shadow file. I donīt know how this ties in with netatalk, however.
Can anybody help?
Sincerely, Stefan Barth
