I have experienced similar problems here, but only on specific macs. Not
being a mac guru, i think that it's something to do with macs limited
support for encrypted passwords. by default, macs only support unencrypted
passwords shorter than ?? chars. Try using a shorter password, and seeing
how you go. Other than that, update software on the macs, again, no idea how
you might go about this.
YMMV. Worked for me.

In general, restarting only `atalkd' won't help.
When you changed some configurations, you (probably) will need to restart
`afpd' also.
`<path-to-your-start-stop-scripts>/atalk restart' should do this.
The real pathname depends on your OS, distribution and version.
But I don't know if this will solve your problem.
Certain older versions of netatalk also had case-sensitivity of user names.
Is your (possible) NIS database up-to-date? (I don't know if netatalk and
samba handle this
differently.)
If the problem persists, you have to tell what OS (distribution+version) and
netatalk version you
use.
