Accroding to my understanding, netatalk can be stopped and then restarted
without a reboot ONLY if the kernel appletalk stack is compiled as a
module. Then you can stop netatalk, unload the appletalk module, and
restart netatalk. I have added the line "modprobe -r appletalk" at the
end of the "stop" section of /etc/init.d/atalk script, to make sure that
the appletalk stack is immediately unloaded (it should be unloaded after
a while anyway, since it is autoloaded by the kernel).
But if you link the appletalk stuff into the kernel then netatalk cannot
be restarted, you have to reboot.
Hope this helps.
