First, read http://www.anders.com/projects/netatalk/afpd.conf.html

Then, see that netatalk's afpd.conf file has a line like this:

- -noguest -uamlist uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx_pam.so,uams_randnum.so

Every Mac user that wants to connect to the Linux box will have to have 
a plaintext .passwd file in their home dir. That file's permissions 
should be 600 and it should have the only thing in it -- the user's 
password. They must be valid users of the Linux system as well.

Under OS X, go to Finder's menu and find /Connect to server.../ option. 
If your netatalk service is running, it should show up in the list.

You will have to check that your system has UAMs appropriate for the 
type of login you want to do from the Mac. They should be under 
/usr/lib/atalk/uams/. You can do plain text login or guest login by 
specifying the right UAM modules.

Hope this helps,
