It seems that the debian package has a problem with pam (the
authentication library). Also another problem shows up: if someone
tries to mount a volume with the wrong password, the server hangs and
must be restarted (and perhaps also the module unloaded and reloaded,
don't remember for sure).

I have been told that the latter problem goes away by recompiling
netatalk without pam support, but I don't know if that would make the
first problem go away, so I did nothing and am waiting for the next
release.

I'm not on this list any more, I am now following linux-atalk, on
whose archives I found the info above.
