Anyone else using netatalk? I'm using it but getting random
authentication failures that I have isolated to the netatalk daemons,
but I can't debug it any further. I reported the bug on sourceforge,
but they're telling me that they've never seen this before and since
I'm not an enterprise customer, they're not interested in looking into
it. Everything I do to debug it, however, masks the problem. For
instance, turning on full debug messages or turning on PAM debugging
eliminates the problem. Of course, spamming my system logs isn't an
acceptable solution. But it looks like some kind of timing issue or
race condition. 1 time out of 5, when I try to connect to the server,
I get an access denied error.

have you tried strace(1) on the netatlk daemon? you may need to use -e
read=fd(s) to trace the messages sent back and forwards. I'm sure you
are aware that AppleTalk is now deprecated (as of 2009); have you
considered using another protocol? I know that some systems rely on it
however...
If you get really stuck you may want to buy a copy of this..

I personally found it to be a very good read (back when I was a network
admin).
