Sounds to me like the ultimate HOWTO is: "Don't touch any prepackaged
RPM with a 10-foot pole. Always get the source, compile and install it
yourself."
I dunno, for me it just worked on the first attempt. afpd.conf is
"Server Name@Zone" -icon -nocleartxt -randnum -setpassword -uamlist
uams_randnum.so
Create .passwd files in everyone's home directories, mode 0600, owned
by the user and in the user's primary group, containing the password in
cleartext (with or without a trailing newline).

Haven't done it yet (too much legacy OS 8 stuff). Anyone else?
