Have you created the afppasswd file? I was having the same problem as
you untill yesterday when I realized I might not have the correct
passwcd file. I just used

afppasswd -c

to create it and then changed the passwords for my test accounts. I then
had to add

 -uamlist uams_randnum.so

to the server's entry in afpd.conf to the server to use encryption.
I'm running 1.5pre5 on Redhat 6.2 and clients running OS9.

My question is: is there another way to get encryption to work? It would
be nice to have encrypted passwords, but still be able to use
/etc/shadow as the passwd file.
