Since I wrote this, I have tried it on 6.0, and netatalk has a bug with
timestamps.  (The native timestamps on files differ from the timestamps
as reported by AFS by 14 years.  Example: I "touch me" in a shared directory
on the NetBSD side, and the AFS share shows it as being created in 2026.  If I
create a file in the share, "la -l" on the file has a timestamp in 1999)

When I build the source in 5.2, and run it on 5.2, it works.  If I build
and run on 6.0, it exhibits this bug.  I am trying to figure out how to
install the 5.2-built binaries on 6.0 to test that.

The same bug seems to be in 2.2.4 and 3.0.3 netatalk.  I first noticed it in
my upgrade to 6.0.1.  Running the 5.2-built netatalk does not appear to
work on 6.0.1.  I have not figured out why.

Judging from the warnings on some of the builds, I'm betting
that there was some change in the stat structure defined in <sys/stat>
between 4.0 and 6.0 that is somehow getting messed up in netatalk.

I'll see wht I can do about a send-pr.

Thanks,
