Hi,

The default limit is 5 as you found out.  Did you alter the rc.atalk file
in /etc/rc.d and change the afpd start adding '-c 20' where 20 is the
number of potential concurrent macs to support.

It is not the afpd conf file that needs changing but the rc.atalk file.

---excerpt from rc.atalk in /etc/rc.d
if [ -f /usr/local/atalk/etc/afpd ]; then
        /usr/local/atalk/etc/afpd -c 20 ;   echo -n ' afpd'
fi
-------------------------------------
is what my rc.atalk would have to support 20 concurrent macs.
my reference on 8/27/97 was:
http://www.stpt.usf.edu/~johnson/linux/faq.html#limit  which is still
valid.

Yours,
Ed
