Okay, straight away, I'm aware that this is in the FAQ. :) Unfortunately,
the FAQ's advice appears not to have helped.

I've compiled netatalk 1.4b2 under Solaris 2.5.1. It compiled and
installed pretty cleanly. I can see the Solaris box in the chooser,
and "guest" can log in. Unfortunately, actual users cannot.

I've tried both with and without -DSHADOWPW in etc/afpd/Makefile,
and this seems to make no difference. There is an /etc/shells file,
and I've double-checked that the users' shells are in it. I built
netatalk with the "solarisagain.diff" patch.

There are no password-related errors at all in syslog, although I did
get the following interesting tidbit at the time that I de-installed
one build of the driver and installed a new one:

Feb 25 22:24:02 dummy atalkd[21682]: route: 43 -> 23.123: No such file or directory
Feb 25 22:24:02 dummy atalkd[21682]: as_down remove le0 23.2 failed: No such file or directory

FWIW, the solaris box in question is an NIS client, getting its NIS
maps from an NIS master running SunOS 4.1.4.

Any insights would be appreciated!
