This may be unrelated, but recentlty, my netatalk 2.something server
started dropping connections about every 5 minutes. Turns out that this
machines (which is also my NTP master) was switching the time back and
forth by an order of 4 minutes due to the fact that one of the higher
stratum NTP machines was sending out a bogus time.
Turning NTP off (or at least taking the bogus host out of the server list)
fixed the problem.
So this may be unrelated, but clock shifts do make for a not so stable
Netatalk server.
