I finally got Netatalk working under RH 5.0.  FYI:

1. Get the source:
ftp://terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu/unix/netatalk/netatalk-1.4b2.tar.gz

2. # tar xvzf netatalk-1.4b2.tar.gz

3. # cd netatalk-1.4b2

4. Get the patch:
http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk/patches/RH5.0.patch

5. Apply the patch.  Make sure doesn't have OD carriage returns in it,
only OA line feeds or it'll freak out patch.

# patch -p0 < RH5.0.patch

6. # make

7. # make install

8. For some reason, make install forgets to put a copy of the config
files out into the /usr/local/atalk/etc directory so do this:

# cp ./config/* /usr/local/atalk/etc

9. Edit /usr/local/atalk/etc/AppVolumes.system to add your shared
directories.

10. Launch /usr/local/atalk/etc/rc.atalk

That's it.

NOTE:  The patch you applied in step 5 assumes you're configured for
shadow passwords.  (I tried it without shadow passwords enabled and I
could only log in as "guest user" from the Mac).

ALSO: There is a netatalk binary at:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/i386/netatalk-1.4b2-1.i386.rpm
I don't recomend getting it sense I suspect it's compiled without shadow
passwords enabled.  Other errors also.  The only thing good about this
.rpm file is that it has a nice init script.  The rc.atalk script lacks
a conventional 'stop' and 'start' argument.

Cheers and thanks for everyone's support!
