[GLLUG] netatalk on yellowdog linux

We're in the process of moving at least some of our mac servers off
macos9 and appleshareip over to linux. They are mostly G4 boxes and
we're tying to use yellowdog linux. I have yellowdog installed - seems
to run well. I've ran into a problem with netatalk though. I have
netatalk configured the same on the G4 with yellowdog as I configure the
netatalk+asun package on RedHat x86 elsewhere. I can see the server in
the mac chooser but get an error 'Unknown user, incorrect password or
logon is disabled' when I try to connect. The client connects to an
adjacent x86 server running the aforementioned netatalk+asun package
without problem. I have found very little in the way of help on
yellowdog's site and nothing on the sourceforge netatalk page that is
helpful.

One oddity I have observed is that I see the correct server name
'kendon-dc1' in chooser but when I try to connect it identifies the box
as 'Kendon Elem.Server'. I don't know where this latter comes from but
do wonder if it has some bearing on the problem.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks.
