Depending on the version of netatalk or distribution installed, this variable
does not get read for afpd startup. With 'nu', You can check who is logged on
to the server (and how many people are - wc is Your friend). If it maxes out
at 20 connections, the default number is set.
You can either upgrade to 1.5 pre 6 or edit Your startup script to use the
-c option for afpd.
