I'm using LinuxPPC on a G3, and run netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a18.2 to serve
Appletalk IP.  This works fine using Macs, but when I try logging in with a
GS, I get "The file server "moscow150" does not use a recognizable log on
sequence. You cannot connect to it."

Perhaps there is a way to get it working for GS's, but I'm clueless on what is
required.
