one more thing - if you are using 2.05 and LDAP...

the supplied netatalk 'pam.d' module didn't work for LDAP (probably
works for /etc/passwd users but I always use LDAP now)

this, however does work with LDAP

# cat /etc/pam.d/netatalk
#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     pam_nologin.so
auth       include      system-auth
account    include      system-auth
session    include      system-auth
password   include      system-auth
