Without any config file, it still gives me the same error.  Same thing if I
just specify a machine name and port number.
What's weird is that if I start atalkd as well (I currently just need afpd),
then afpd will run, but I have no clue how it's running because it's not
binding to any address or port.  I know this because I tried connecting when
it was running and it didn't work.
Whether or not afpd is running, I still see the "Can't assign requested
address" message in my logs.
Yes, my hosts.allow is configured correctly.  I'm currently allowing ALL
connections to the box.  I have no way of telling if atalkd is actually
working because this box is on another network and I'm setting this up
remotely.  Just want to do appletalk over TCP/IP.
