Comment 14 for bug 810732

thanks guys for all the input, pointing me to a fix.
However the instructions here did not work fully for me, but were on the right track. Im not sure if im on the compiled newest version of netatalk or the one from package for latest ubuntu 11.10. The Ubuntu software center shows v. netatalk 2.2.0-0ppa2 is installed. When I do a "afpd -V" I show "afpd 2.2.1".

Ok, so when I follow the instructions you gave no changes were happening for me.

When I did a "ps -ef | grep afpd" I keep showing a "root 26886 1 28 16:44 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/afpd -U uams_dhx2.so,uams_clrtxt.so -g nobody -c 50 -n bunbox" no matter where I changed the uams list.

But... when I edited the "/etc/default/netatalk" file, uncomenting and setting to "AFPD_UAMLIST="-U uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx2_passwd.so"" all worked, now I do a "ps -ef | grep afpd" and I see "bunbox 26985 26973 0 16:46 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/afpd -U uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx2_passwd.so -g nobody -c 50 -n bunbox"

Restarting netatalk and avahi, all seems to be working again. Thanks so much guys for the help. Maybe my privileges have been altered and will not read the etc/netatalk files anymore, not sure. Now to get time machine working again.
