Appletalk Question

 Okay, i installed the debian netatalk package, set up volumes and
everything
 shares nicely when you log in using an account with a password.

 The problem is with guest logins.  It appears, from the extremely limited
 documentation that it will use the 'nobody' account by default for guest
 logins.  However, when I attempt to login as a guest, the Apple says
 something to the effect of 'The server has unexpectedly terminated the
 connection' - which checks out in /var/log/syslog:

 As to *WHY* it is responding like this i dont know. The one strange anomoly
 is that when I check the FAQ on the site, it says that afpd uses
 getusershell() to ensure that a user has a valid shell ... but 'nobody'
wont
 have one will it?  ... i doubt whether this is the problem, as 'guest' is
 probably a special case.

 Any ideas?

 Thanx,
