------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
 By just installing this port, I am unable to log in, I always get a
 message that the username/password is incorrect.

 /opt/local/var/log/netatalk.log shows
 [uams_dhx_pam.c:497]: I:UAMSDaemon: uams_dhx_pam.c: PAM: PAM_Error:
 Authentication failure

 This can be fixed by creating the file /etc/pam.d/netatalk with the
 following content:

 {{{
 auth       required       pam_nologin.so
 auth       sufficient     pam_securityserver.so
 auth       sufficient     pam_unix.so
 auth       required       pam_deny.so
 account    required       pam_permit.so
 password   required       pam_deny.so
 session    required       pam_uwtmp.so
 }}}

 Now I am able to log in using my username and password and to access my
 files.

 The port should include the file /etc/pam.d/netatalk. Please note that I
 am not a PAM expert - the above works for me, but please check whether
 this configuration makes sense.
