For the -asun package, I've just always had 
"/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/netatalk" in my rc.local.

On my alpha, I tried updating from netatalk-asun to netatalk about a 
month ago (1.6k). I deleted the netatalk-asun package and installed 
the netatalk-proper package. After that, my connections from my OS9.1 
clients were flaky and large transfers would fail. Reversing my 
delete/install to -asun fixed the problem.

Just my thoughts,
Mike
