My apologies, Atro; I meant AFP (AppleShare File Protocol) mounts, not 
AFS. I'm running netatalk on a Mac 7200, and can successfully access 
these files from a Pismo running OS 10.2.8 when logging on as a 
non-root user. "Connect to server" on the Pismo rejects my attempts to 
log onto the 7200 as root. I understand that this is because access by 
root is denied by default. Can this be changed? If so, how? Thanks for 
any help!
