is there someplace where i can get documentation on how to do this? i've
just been using cleartext, but this would make things at least feel a
little
safer. i mean, do you need a UAM, how does this work w/ PAM, etc.
my version of netatalk: netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.2-1.rpm for RH5.2/i386
the documentation is ok, but seems dated and doesn't enlighten one as to
how all the auth stuff works.
URLs, long emails, appreciated,
thanks,
stephen
