Some time ago (Dec 01), a J. Stenberg sent the following message to this list:

Were there any responses to this message? I couldn't find any. I'm having the
same problems after installing netatalk 1.4b2+asun 18 on a Solaris 2.5.2 box.
This same version has been running just fine on my Linux (RH 5.0, 2.0.32
kernel).

It builds and installs fine, then when I try connecting to it, I see exactly
the symptoms described above. I've found that the "long pause" is due to a core
dump by afpd (?). Also, if I run as anything other then root doing pap for
example, I get

nbp_lookup: Permission denied

I suspect these problems are not unrelated. I've checked the permissions
compared with my Linux box and everything looks fine.

Has anyone else run into this or has any ideas as to what might be causing this?

Many thanks.
