A-Ha. Found the problem. Duh, it was in the faq.
Netatalk checks for a valid shell when you log in, and compares it to whats
listed in /etc/shells. I had recently switched my login shell to bash.
I added the line "/usr/pkg/bin/bash" to my /etc/shells file
and all is right in the world again.
Thanks,
Roger
