Having looked briefly at this I'll hazard a guess I know what the problem
may be. When I ported netatalk 1.3.3 to Linux originally I filed a bug
report that both their kernel and user code didnt use the SO_BROADCAST
option correctly. Given its now over a year on the Linux kernel code
does SO_BROADCAST enforcement correctly. I suspect nobody ever bothered
to fix netatalk. You want to run atalkd with the debug flag and see
what it reports. Unable to send to *****: permission denied type messages
are what I suspect.
