hello everyone, i have noticed intresting thing when configuring netatalk3 and 2.
You cannot successfully login and see shares if any of conditions isn't met:

1) user must be in group wheel
2) user must have real shell (e.g. csh), not false or nologin

if 1 or 2 isn't met, user won't see any shares

Reading all docs in netatalk man, or in openbsd pkg-readmes hasn't lead me to answer why does this conditions must be met. I discovered this when tried to add user only for timemachine, and it turned that i have to keep admin user on OpenBSD machine to use it.

I don't know is this a bug or netatalk architecture specialty, but i think it should be documented somewhere. Thanks!
