Wow! That one is old. I've never even seen that...I started this about
two years ago with version 3.3...

The current versions of netatalk *do* logging for you...sometimes a little
too much so :) (How many times do we really *need* to know that the
appletalk network has failed to reach a particular host?)
Other means might be to see if atalkd/afpd (if both of those exist) accept
any sort of debugging options. I believe that the current snapshot
include debugging info with every -d (so, a debuglevel of 5 would be -d -d
-d -d -d on the command line).
Another means would be to periodically run a grep on the process list
for afpd. The first instance (run by root) is the main server; it will
fork off and change ownership for every person who connects. If you get a
crontab going to see if anybody other than root is running afpd, then you
should be able to see who is using it when.
