Subject: Authentication Issue: Wits end

I feel like a huge idiot for asking an age old question in netatalk, but I
can't win, here.
I have read every archived message, every HOWTO, every doc I could find, and
Anders website from top to bottom.
Every list has a different solution, all of which I have tried. I cannot get
user authentication to function. I am running Redhat Linux 6.2, so it
automatically installs PAM and shadow passwords, all of which I have
accounted for in the Makefiles according to the HOWTO. I have tried all
normal authentication methods one by one, none work. I have the "passwd"
file in the home directory. Please assume I've tried all of the solutions at
least twice, and to no avail.
Nothing works. Perhaps there is a typo or a quick change of which I am not
aware to jump start this process.
Apparently there aren't that many people having these problems, because
there is not recent mention of it. I am brand new to this list, and I
apologize for bringing up this tired subject.
If someone out there can give me a hand I would be forever grateful.
Anything to keep the powers-that-be from making me employ Windows 2000
server!
TYIA.
