In the AFP 2 specifications "Cleartxt Passwrd" or "Randnum Exchange", are a 
couple of valid passowrd types.

PCMacLan uses "ClearTxt passwrd"
 
The original GS CDEV only looks for "Cleartxt passwrd" or "Randnum 
exchange"

There is supposed to be a case INsenstive client check.  
Between GS system 5 and 6, Apple accidentally made the GS's Appleshare CDEV 
case sensitive. 

A rebuilt CDEV that fixes this problem is available at the follwing address
