I am having one machine in our office (A G3 running MacOS 8.1) that all of
a sudden cannot login to our netatalk server. No matter who I try to
login as, I get a "password incorrect" message. *however* if I try and
specify an IP # directly from Chooser, the logins seem to work about 75%
of the time.

The *only* thing that has changed is that I set up another Linux box
running netatalk, which has a new printer hooked up to it. I cannot log
into THAT via netatalk no matter WHAT I do. (From the G3. Logins from
all other machines work fine) I tried taking both netatalk servers
off-line, one at a time, to see if they were messing with each other but no
luck. I am getting entries in /var/log/messages that indicate that the
login-request connection is being made, but no error messages that
indicate any login errors.
 
This is driving me batty. Anyone else seen problems like this? I was
having login problems from the G3 a while back, but they just went away
after a day or two!! (I both love and hate problems that mysteriously
fix themselves!)

PS All our print job problems (which I posted about the other day) were
fixed once we hooked the printer directly up to out new netatalk server!
Yeah!!!
