It sounds like the DID kludge may be a problem. I am glad I am still
using an older version of Netatalk. I typically stay away from releases
and wait till they mature a bit.
This could be why Linux seems to have hit hard by this. The distros like
to get the latest goods out there. The FreeBSD port is still an older
version which does not have this problem.
And if I do update I am going to be sure to set it to compile with the old
DID methods. I do not even know what theese DIDs do, but it soudns like
the problem.
