You can probably add plain, it is for backwards compatibility with like 
system pre-7.1 mainly though or take it away off the x86 server. 

if you edit the afpd.conf and add the line flag:
-uamlist 
you can specify which auth modules are available to which servers. like:

"My AFP"  -uamlist uams_clrtxt.so,uams_dhx.so,uams_guest.so

The available modules are usually stored in the sub-directory uams in the 
same directory the config files are in. 

If you use the uams_pam.so then you will also need to configure a file in 
/etc/pam.d name netatalk with the appropriate information. You would use 
this if you are trying to auth off an ldap, kerberos, etc. server most 
likely.
