Any netatalk program that gives you this error needs to be able
to read /dev/ddp ... which you can do as root (obviously) but
you'll need to do one of two things to fix it for other users:
1) make nbplkup (and friends) setuid root
chmod 4755 nbplkup
I've never heard of whether or not there are security problems
associated with this.
2) make /dev/ddp readable by some group and make nbplkup
setgid to that group
chgrp somegroup /dev/ddp
chgrp somegroup nbplkup
chmod 2755 nbplkup
