Seth, you need to turn on support for shadow passwords. In your netatalk
src directory, cd to etc/afpd. Open the makefile for that directory with
your favorite editor, and add the following to the CFLAGS option:
-DSHADOWPW
Save the change, and cd back to the root of your netatalk src dir, and do a
make clean, then make. You should be set to go.
