Cannot login to netatalk server
I have a very small private LAN with only two machines:
* a Debian box running netatalk 1.5.5 server
* a TiBook running Mac OS X Jaguar
and connected via Ethernet crossover cable. The network seems to work
fine for other network functions (for example, ping and ssh), but I am
unable to login to the Debian box from the TiBook via Appletalk.
When I do Go -> Connect to server from the Finder on the TiBook, the
Debian box shows up in the "Connect to server" window. I then select it
and enter my username and password to the Debian box. After quite a
while, authentication fails and I get an error message
"Login failed. Unknown user, incorrect password or log on disabled. Please
retype the name and password or contact the server's administrator."
I've followed the error message, but I am still stuck. I can't see how
log on would be refused -- I have no firewall, no entries in
hosts.{allow,deny}, and a vanilla netatalk installation from Debian
packages.
I've been bashing my head against this problem on and off for about a week
now and am at my wit's end, so any advice would be wonderful. Thankyou!
Andrew.

Yes, I've checked the system logs but have found nothing suspicious (at least not to my eye). For instance, here's the AppleTalk stuff from /var/log/syslog: Nov 3 04:37:25 anima afpd[18644]: shutting down on signal 15 Nov 3 04:37:25 anima atalkd[18640]: done Nov 3 04:37:27 anima atalkd[18710]: restart (1.5.5) Nov 3 04:37:28 anima atalkd[18710]: zip_getnetinfo for eth0 Nov 3 04:37:47 anima last message repeated 2 times Nov 3 04:37:57 anima atalkd[18710]: config for no router Nov 3 04:37:58 anima atalkd[18710]: ready 0/0/0 Nov 3 04:38:10 anima papd[18722]: restart (1.5.5) Nov 3 04:38:16 anima afpd[18720]: anima:AFPServer@* started on 65280.218:128 (1.5.5) Nov 3 04:38:16 anima afpd[18720]: ASIP started on 192.169.1.1:548(2) (1.5.5) Nov 3 04:38:16 anima afpd[18720]: uam: loading (/usr/lib/netatalk/uams_clrtxt.so) Nov 3 04:38:16 anima afpd[18720]: uam: uams_clrtxt.so loaded Nov 3 04:38:16 anima afpd[18720]: uam: loading (/usr/lib/netatalk/uams_dhx.so) Nov 3 04:38:16 anima afpd[18720]: uam: uams_dhx.so loaded Nov 3 04:38:16 anima afpd[18720]: uam: "DHCAST128" available Nov 3 04:38:16 anima afpd[18720]: uam: "Cleartxt Passwrd" available That's what I get from doing /etc/init.d/netatalk restart.

security.debian.org in /etc/apt/source.list
If I'm running Debian testing, and if security updates aren't really applicable to a testing/unstable system, then is there any point in having deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free in /etc/apt/sources.list? The Securing Debian Manual (in particular, section 4.8) doesn't make this clear. Andrew. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

That would explain my confusion at seeing a testing/ subdirectory at ftp://security.debian.org. Okay, thanks for the reply.
