If you've got it in your init scripts, just run this as root:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk start
If it's not at that path, look in your /etc directory for init.d or rc.d,
and it'll be there somewhere. When you run the script without a start/stop,
it'll just say "Usage: atalk {start|stop}". That's the beauty of Linux,
don't have to restart the whole box except for kernel changes. =)

If you've got TCP/IP set up on the Mac, and on the Linux box, and TCP/IP is
generally happy everywhere, it should be using IP over AppleTalk first.
Using IP is just as transparent as using the Chooser. Older versions of
AppleShare didn't support IP, but all current ones do.
The advantage? It's a lot faster.
