Something to try to help weed through the log file:
grep '[client_IP_address]' /var/log/messages > seek.txt
will search the syslog files for the quoted string and burp it all into a
file called 'seek.txt', which you can then search more reasonably.
you could also try using 'afpd' or 'atalkd' as your string.
