Can't help you here -- my netatalk install is from Debian's package,
which moves things around a bit. I've got separate conf files for
afpd, atalkd, and papd, if that's of any help at all.

Short answer: not with netatalk, which only provides server-side
functionality in terms of appleshare.
Longer answer: you can get afpfs, which is sort of the opposite of
netatalk and similar conceptually to nfs. Compile into your kernel
(but not a linux-2.2.x one, unless you're ready to go a-patching)
and you can mount appleshared volumes like any other FS. Or, you
can just use nfs; there's a free mac nfsd on HyperArchive.
